Biography
I am currently a Research Associate at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh. I will start my own research group in mid 2024. I work in the field of NeuroAI: an intersection between studies of natural and artificial intelligence.
Drawing on my interdisciplinary background, I view intelligence as fundamentally linked to predictive processing and dynamic interaction with the environment. I am also interested in applying my research to understanding the mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorders, and enabling effective decoding of movement for developing prosthetic devices and human-machine interfaces.

Experience
‘Laboratory of Prof Nathalie Rochefort. I analysed large-scale neuronal recordings in awake behaving mice and:
- Revealed communication between multiple simultaneously recorded brain areas and identified the information that was being communicated (ongoing project).
- Compared attention to movie presentation in neurotypical and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) mouse models.
- Decoded the predicted locations of the mouse navigating in a familiar environment in the dark (my analysis helped secure 5-year funding for an experimental neuroscience postdoc).’
