[1][2][3] Ramdya studied neuroscience at Drew University, where he received his bachelor's degree with honors (summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa) in 2001.

[5][6] He then went on to perform postdoctoral work in neurogenetics and robotics in the laboratories of Richard Benton at University of Lausanne (UNIL) and Dario Floreano at EPFL, respectively.

[7][8][9] In 2015, he moved to the California Institute of Technology to work as a visiting postdoctoral fellow with Michael Dickinson where he developed a means for imaging motor circuit activity in behaving Drosophila.

[1][2][3][12] Ramdya's research is focused on reverse-engineering biological neuromechanical control to inspire the development of artificial systems that can mimic the flexibility and agility of animal behaviors.
