Diptyajit obtained his B.Tech in Biomedical Engineering from West Bengal University of Technology, India, and his M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from FH Aachen University, Germany. During his master's program, he worked as a graduate research assistant in the Medical Imaging Physics (INM-4) institute at Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH, Germany. He is now pursuing a PhD at Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, supervised by Prof. Dr. med. Alexander Gutschalk. His research focuses on investigating the origin and function of the P300 brain marker using advanced neuroimaging techniques, including EEG, MEG, and fMRI.

Diptyajit's research interests include experimental design, signal and image processing, brain functional imaging (MEG, EEG, MRI/fMRI), development of open-source software and hardware, multi-dimensional data analysis, and simulation modeling. He joined COGITATE to contribute to the reproducibility of neuroimaging research and to support the principles of open science data.
