About

I am a PhD student at the Warwick Mathematics for Real World Systems Centre for Doctoral Training. My research is in theoretical/computational neuroscience, supervised by Professor Magnus Richardson and Dr Susana Gomes.

I am particularly interested in developing mathematical tools to model and understand the dynamics of spiking neuronal networks, such as how they can learn and generate the rich dynamics we see in the brain.

Research Projects

Mathematical Models of Spiking Neural Networks - PhD project, in progress.
Model of Theta Oscillation Dysfunction in Tauopathies - Master's research project, awarded a distinction.
Clustering and Classifying Hippocampal Interneurons by Type and Layer Using Patch-Clamp Voltage Traces - I worked on this problem for both my BSc and MSc group research projects and was graded First-Class/Distinction for my work.

Awards

Best Undergraduate Thesis in Class - I won the award for the best final-year research project thesis in my course, with the title "Clustering and Classifying Hippocampal Interneurons by Type and Layer Using Patch-Clamp Voltage Traces".
