Biography

I am a computational neuroscience researcher currently working with Claudia Clopath at Imperial College London. Previously, I was a PhD student supervised by Angus Chadwick at the University of Edinburgh.

My research is broadly focused on models of recurrent neural networks as dynamical systems to study neural computations. I am studying how information is encoded by neural populations and how this depends on the connectivity structure and dynamics of the networks.
