Dr Neha Shivhare is an Assistant Professor at the Dayalbagh Educational Institute in Agra, India and a visiting fellow at Simon Fraser University. She has recently written about how a preliminary study with SFU business students suggests that "even 10 minutes of classroom meditation can gradually increase students' levels of physical, mental and emotional awareness."

Dr Shivhare is an ISO certified Internal Auditor and has been a recipient of the Director’s Medal and President’s Medal for her extraordinary academic achievement at the University level. During her visit, Dr. Shivhare is discussing and exploring possibilities for future research in the area of digital learning from a pedagogical perspective and a gerontological benefits perspective with faculty members at Simon Fraser University. She hopes to exchange ideas for collaborative educational programs between SFU and her university in India.
