Prospective candidates should have a strong background in either neuroscience or maths/physics/engineering. Some potential PhD projects include the following (please read our recent papers for more details):

Project 1: Using fluorescent calcium indicators to visualise how neural activity develops in the zebrafish brain.

Project 2:  Using a variety of mathematical/statistical approaches to analyse and model these data.

Project 3:  Computational modelling of how nerve fibres are guided to their targets during neural development.

Project 4:  Computational modelling of neural map formation.
