Welcome to my homepage

Courtesy of the Wellcome Trust, I work as a research fellow with David Willshaw at the Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation in the School of Informatics at Edinburgh University.

My resarch interests are in the area of computational neuroscience. Specifically, I have interests in

  • Development of the nervous system, in particular the development of the retinocollicular (or retinotectal) mapping
  • Learning and memory, in particular asccociative networks
  • Applications of compartmental modelling
To find out more see my publications and code.
