Lakshman Abhilash studies how sleep and daily biological rhythms (circadian clocks) are controlled, primarily using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism. The work examines how factors like light, temperature, and internal 'sleep pressure' shape rest and activity patterns, and includes building open-source software tools for analyzing biological time-series data. Recent projects also extend into how aging affects specific brain neurons involved in dopamine signaling.
