Manoj Mishra

Biography

I am a postdoctoral research associate at Hotchkiss Brain Institute at The University of Calgary, Canada. I am a self-motivated, enthusiastic and responsible team player with 10+ years of global experience in research training and education. I love to wander in nature and to visit historical places or museums. I am a voracious reader and a passionate teacher. My hobbies include sketching, cooking, writing poems, playing soccer, cricket and ping-pong. I enjoy making some useful scientific drawings/illustrations. My approach to any problem is to make it simpler then join the pieces.
