Introduce yourself!

Hi Buddies!

I’m Tang Mi, currently a research assistant in Zhejiang University. I’m going to sign up for my PhD program at University of Groningen next year. The prospective topics of my PhD study are psycholinguitsics and computational linguistics where modeling on behavioral and EEG data may be involved. I’m here to strengthen my background of computational neuroscience! Very excited about learning from you and getting started in this great community!

Hi everyone, I am Dipayan!!!
I am a project fellow at the Jadavpur University, India on a Brain-Computer Interface based project for rehabilitative application. I completed my M.Tech in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering in 2019. I have a strong interest in computational neuroscience since my M.tech final year project days. I am also deep learning enthusiastic and have fluent skill in Python and R. Since I am a newbie in this domain, NMA will be a great learning platform for me.
In my spare time, I play computer games, read novels, listen to music, singing, watch movies. Real Madrid is in my heart <3 and Christiano Ronaldo is my favourite player(that doesn’t mean I like Juventus).

Hello!~ My name is Wang Xiangyu. I major in Electronic Science and Technology and I will graduate in this summer. I will be a graduate student in National Center for Nanoscience and Technology in China. And I have confirmed Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) and relate technology as my research interests. To achieve that, I have already learned as many relate courses as I can, such as analog and digital circuits, Embedded System, python and some math etc. my graduation project is training a CNN based on GoogLeNet to recognize ECoG signal of epilepsy. To be honest, this is my first time to do computational neuroscience project. And my teacher’s research field is neural interface, the electrode. The ECoG signal data is from a rat whose epilepsy is caused by Penicillin in her lab. And when I get these data and start to do some analyses, I was confused by the complexity of the problem. As I study further, I found that is an interesting field. And I just know about Neuromatch Academy and I want to learn more in this area so I determine to join this summer school. Although I almost have no experience in this area, but I think I have enough basic knowledge to learn it well. I hope I can get a chance to join. I hope I can know some great scientists and learn some new methods to figure out my graduation project.

Hi, my name is Alan Cronemberger Andrade. I am a medical doctor (MD), with a completed Neurology training, and a clinical fellow in Cognition and Behavioral Neurology (my area of interest). I do interact with patients everyday here in São Paulo, Brazil. I am quite new to the “coding world” by I hope to learn and improve skills in dateset analysis. Feel free to get in touch. Thank you to all! This Neuromatch Academy is very exciting.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Zhizhong Kai, but I go by my family name, Kai. I look forward to meet you all in our virtual learning community!

I was born and raised in the south of China, the only child in the family. I completed my bachelor and master degree both in psychology. I am currently in my first year of the Ph.D. program in social work.

I love to spend my free time going on travel to the suburbs. Once I have a long vacation, I will travel abroad. I’ve been a gamer (includes video game, computer game, mobile game, and board game) since I was a child, even now. It even made me want to develop related games to help children learn and grow up.

Hi everyone! My name is Lakota Watson. I’m so excited to meet all of you and get to engage with this community!

I graduated from CU Boulder in 2018 with a double major in psychology and neuroscience. Since Oct. 2018, I have lived in Baltimore, Maryland and have worked in Dr. Joseph Cheer’s lab at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I plan on applying to graduate school for a PhD in Neuroscience in this coming application cycle.

I was born in Colorado but lived most of my life in central Minnesota, and I have a very large, orange tabby cat named Nemo, who is the light of my life. In my free time, I enjoy hiking and exploring restaurants in my city. I recently started making kombucha (if you have any flavor ideas, let me know)!

I’m excited to learn more about coding (I’ve only taken an intro class in college and it was honestly very fun) and meeting and networking with people in my field.

Hello everyone,
I am Priya. Currently, waiting for my PhD viva-voce to get scheduled and get done with it. I have a background in genetics and picked up Python and R programming to help myself with my PhD work. I am interested in understanding the concepts of computational modeling, flux-balance analysis and biophysical modeling. In my thesis, simulated and analyzed the effect of interactions between schizophrenia susceptibility genes on regulation of neurodevelopment. I am happy to share my knowledge as well look forward to learn from others.
