Cliff Kerr | cliff@thekerrlab.com | Full CV Cliff is a reformed physicist, having completed a PhD in that field in 2009 at the University of Sydney. He recently received an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Research Award, and moved to the University of Sydney at the end of 2014. Before that he was a postdoctoral fellow at SUNY Downstate, investigating large-scale thalamocortical network models of the sensorimotor system. He also currently holds a position as a Senior Research Associate at the Kirby Institute in Australia, developing models of HIV transmission to advise governments on optimal budget allocations. Lastly, he co-directs Cingulate Consulting, a data analytics firm. |
David Kedziora | david@thekerrlab.com David is a postdoctoral research associate. He received his PhD from the Australian National University studying rogue waves. He is working on the integration of spiking network models and neural field models. |
Rosemary Menzies | rosie@thekerrlab.com Rosemary is a Complex Systems Scholarship student. She works on model validation, calibration, and data analysis for comparing spiking network models to individual rats. |
Campbell McLauchlan | campbell@thekerrlab.com Campbell is a Complex Systems Scholarship student. He works on LFP modeling and model analysis. |
Zac Sweeney Zac is a Talented Student Program student. He is currently working on the variability of neuronal network response to the application of differing stimuli. |
Lily Li Lily is a Summer Vacation Scholar, working on analyzing the relationship between hand gestures and human electrocorticography (ECoG) data. In 2015, she was a Talented Student Program student, where she worked on looking at the effects of Parkinson's disease on a spiking network model on controlling a robotic arm. |
