Devanka Pathak

Profile

Devanka studied for an MSc in Physics at Tezpur University in Assam before moving to the UK for an MPhil in Gravitational Physics at Cardiff University, and then completed a PhD in Creative Computing at Bath Spa University, with research spanning brain–computer interfaces, EEG and computational methods.

Alongside research, Devanka has taught in UK higher education and worked across technology, software and artificial intelligence. That combination of perspectives, as a student who made the move from India, a researcher and a teacher, shapes how Britvia guides students.
