I'm a computational neuroscientist (#Neuroscience #CompNeuro) and science reformer based at Imperial College London.
I like to build things and organisations that make it easier to do better #science.
I made the Brian spiking neural network simulator (https://briansimulator.org) with @romainbrette and 
@mstimbergMarcel Stimberg.
I co-founded #Neuromatch with 
@kordinglabKonrad Kording and a bunch of others, and the SNUFA community with 
@fzenkeFriedemann Zenke.
In my main research, I'm interested in how the brain uses spikes to carry out computations, and what advantages that might have. Increasingly, my work revolves around using methods from #MachineLearning because that finally lets us build models that actually require intelligence, the unique property of the brain I'm interested in.
I also want to make science better. Neuromatch's mission is to democratise science, and with our new open #publishing initiative (https://nmop.io) I'm hoping we'll be able to dramatically change the murky world of academic publishing.
You might (ha!) also see some political commentary from me. I'm a left-wing #anarchist.
Happy to discuss any of the above!
