Passionate about studying consciousness, human space exploration, public health, data ownership and privacy.

Deeply committed to protecting our planet and doing what I can to support the Earth through this climate emergency. Recognize that humans are intimately connected to one another, to our biosphere, and to our planet.

Divya Chander is an anesthesiologist (MD UCSD, residency UCSF) and neuroscientist (PhD UCSD) who also works at the intersection of health, data, technology, and data security. She is a practicing physician, Chair of Neuroscience and Faculty of Medicine at Singularity University, former faculty in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, and Senior Non-Resident Fellow at the Atlantic Council GeoTech Center. She leads 2 companies she co-founded during the pandemic – Lucidify, a remote brain monitoring platform for the detection of delirium, and Plexxus, a company building the world’s connected global immune system. She was named one of 2020’s top digital health innovators by Intelligent Health AI. Dr. Chander also served on a NASA task force for COVID19, and both co-chairs and directs the post-pandemic global health initiative for OneShared.World. Her research interests center around mapping consciousness (using optogenetics and EEG), how consciousness will be altered by human augmentation, and how mapping consciousness in humans may enable us to recognize it in non-human, intelligent beings (both on and off-planet, e.g. through initiatives like SETI, where she joins the newly formed SETI Complexity Group). Dr. Chander also contributes to space life sciences and medicine. A finalist for astronaut selection and an alumnus of the International Space University, Dr. Chander has performed remote simulations of trauma rescues, anesthesia and surgery in Mars analogue settings. In addition, she has also been involved with a consortium that elaborated a road-map for studying the effect of microgravity and radiation on the nervous system, cardiovascular system, cognition and sleep. Her desire to alter her own Consciousness is to someday see the Earth rise from the surface of the moon.
