I did my PhD at the University of Edinburgh (UK) as part of the Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation where I established a collaboration between theoretical (Mark van Rossum) and experimental groups (P. Jesper Sjöström). I was also a visiting PhD student at University College London (UK) and McGill University (Canada). After that, I conducted postdoctoral research in computational neuroscience & machine learning at the University of Oxford (UK) with Tim Vogels where I established collaborations with the groups of Nando de Freitas (Oxford/Google Deepmind) and Nigel Emptage (Oxford). During my time at Oxford I  co-organised the Oxford NeuroTheory Forum. Next, I did a short postdoc with the group of Walter Senn (Bern, Switzerland) in collaboration with Yoshua Bengio (MILA). In 2018 I moved to the University of Bristol to start my own group (Neural & Machine Learning group).
