I am a PhD candidate in Neuroscience at Oxford. My research will concentrate on characterising the computational transformations implemented by neural systems, particularly in the mammalian neocortex. I am interested in how ideas from engineering (machine learning in particular) may be leveraged to make progress in this area, as well as how knowledge about computation in the brain can be used to develop better machine learning systems. I obtained my MEng in Biomedical Engineering at Imperial, during which I received training in both engineering and biological science and carried out research in neuroimaging, computational neuroscience and machine learning. After this, I worked as a data scientist at CoMind helping to develop optical neuroimaging technologies for clinical neuromonitoring and neural interfaces. Neural interfaces are still a major interest of mine and I follow developments in this field.
