Welcome!
I am a postdoctoal research fellow at the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University and an affiliated research fellow at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit. From July 2008 onwards I'll be back in the hospital completing my medical training as part of an MB/PhD at Royal Free and University College London Medical School .
My research focus is on computational psychiatry (ie computational models of psychiatric disorders), population coding and detailed single cell models. My thesis was on computational approaches to depression and is here.
