Having completed my Masters programme in Basic and Translational Neuroscience, I am now investigating the development of neuronal networks as well as the effect of mutations to the MECP2 gene and the role of a specific subclass of inhibitory interneurons thought to regulate network activity. I combine an experimental approach — involving multi-electrode array recordings and optogenetics — with a computational approach — this involves synthesizing neuronal activity, generating models of network development and graph theory.
Interested in the study of human nature using a neuroscientific approach • PhD in brain network development @ Cambridge Physiology Dept. • Currently using artificial spiking neural networks to understand brain activity patterns
PhD in Neuroscience, University of Cambridge. Looking at neuronal network activity in the neocortex at the microscale and the effects of various perturbations. Methods included: computational modelling, graph theory, Izhikevich model neurons, spike sorting, in vitro experiments, micro electrode arrays, pharmacological and ontogenetic experiments, electrophysiology, transgenic mice, cerebral organoids
