Biography

I am a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, supervised by Angus Chadwick. My research is broadly focused on models of recurrent neural networks as dynamical systems to study neural computations. Currently, I am studying how information is encoded by neural populations and how this depends on the connectivity structure and dynamics of the networks.
