She is\u00a0a fifth year PhD candidate in the Department of Physics. She uses a computational perspective to understand how physical\u00a0constraints control the function of microbial communities. Her research focuses on game-theoretical modeling of nutrient exchange in microbial ecosystems, statistical learning for dysbiosis in chronic diseases of the gut, and predicting network properties that make microbial communities productive. Menon received her BS in Physics from the University of Delhi in 2010, and her MS in physics from the Indian Institute of Technology \u2013 Delhi in 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6673,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/9431"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6673"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/9431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10511,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/9431\/revisions\/10511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/hic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
