Speaker bio
Abhi did his D.Phil. at the University of Oxford as a Felix Scholar studying spike-timing-dependent plasticity learning rules during cortical development. He was a Simons Fellow at MIT studying the dynamics of inhibitory mechanisms in Rett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder in the autism spectrum. During this time, he was also a Teaching Fellow in Neurobiology at the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard University. He then moved to the University of Zürich as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow and NARSAD Young Investigator. Abhi is currently a Senior Lecturer at Newcastle University Medical School working on the flexibility of decision-making and its dysfunctions in neurological disorders.
