Introduction and area of work:
I studied my undergraduate degree at the University of Manchester. I graduated with a 2.1 MNeuroSci in Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence in July 2007. I started my Phd in January 2009. I am looking into the biocompatibility of carbon nantotube electrodes for retinal prosthesis.
I work in the neuro-technology research group in the Catherine Cookson building with my supervisor Evelyne Sernagor and Chris Evans. I am fascinated by the potential offered by interfacing electronic devices with the central nervous system, for medical and scientific applications.
