If you're interested in the sort of research that I'm interested in (e.g. computational/theory work in SNNs or the auditory system), please do consider submitting your work to @eLife! I've been an editor there now for a year and I'm not seeing a lot of papers in these areas.

Really pleased with my talk at the @neuromatch conference yesterday. We talked about our work here at the @ShefTouch modelling the tactile afferents of the foot sole and its implications to the development of prosthetics. lnkd.in/dTV3-R9 #academictwitter #prosthetics

What have @ShefTouch been up to during lockdown? 1 preprint published (congrats @CornianiGiulia & @SuperHannes) and plenty of home baking! Cheesecakes, blueberry & lemon buns, bread, iced buns and more! #AcademicChatter #lockdown #baking

Very pleased to have accepted an offer to remain at @sheffieldpsy @sheffielduni with @SuperHannes to complete a PhD @ShefTouch funded by @DiMeN_DTP, looking at the role of tactile feedback from the foot across the lifespan. I can't wait to start in October!!! #phd

Check out our NeurIPS paper 'Nonlinear scaling of resource allocation in sensory bottlenecks', with @lauraredmondson and Alejandro Jimenez-Rodriguez. It's mathy, an extension of efficient coding theory, and (shock,horror!) has more on vision than touch.1/6 papers.nips.cc/paper/8972-no…

Looking for a PhD student for October 2020 entry! We will investigate the role of tactile feedback from the foot in balance and walking, and investigate medical applications. Great PhD program, and a fun, interdisciplinary project with lots of collaborators!
