Welcome!

I'm an affiliated research fellow at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging and at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit. I'm currently an academic foundation trainee in psychiatry at Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospital in London. As of September 2012 I will be a psychiatry resident at the University of Zürich. I will also be joining the Translational Neuromodeling Unit with Klaas Stephan.

I did an MB/PhD at UCL Medical School and the Gatsby Unit with Peter Dayan. In 2007/2008, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University.

My research focus is on computational psychiatry (mainly on computational models of decision making in depression, anxiety and addiction), population coding and detailed single cell models. My thesis was on computational approaches to depression and is here.
