Biography

Hello, I’m Apoorva. I am currently a final year master’s student studying Neural Information Processing at the Graduate Training Centre of Neuroscience at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Germany.

I am interested in understanding the neural computational theories that form the basis of information processing in neuronal networks. To do so, I am interested in analyzing neural data to form hypotheses and building theoretical models to conduct causal investigations of these hypotheses. I like reading about network structure, function, and dynamics studied through the framework of spiking networks, deep learning, and connectomics (and a combination of these).
