bio: "Francesco joined PNPL as a Postdoc in 2024 after receiving his PhD in Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience from NYU under the supervision of David Poeppel. His interests include Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs), Neurotechnology, and Speech Neuroprosthetics.",
bio: "My motivation is to help improving people's lives through AI. Currently, I am mostly interested in the challenges of advancing machine learning for medical image analysis. The CDT in AIMS offers the perfect platform for this journey and I'm excited to connect with anyone sharing my interest. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Mannheim and a Master's degree from the University of Oxford's Internet Institute. During my time at Oxford, I participated in cutting-edge research on the societal and ethical aspects of AI. This experience fueled my fascination for machine learning, leading me to pursue a second Master's degree at the University of Tübingen, where I focused on the foundations of deep learning, large language models and explainable AI. Along the way, I've conducted brain research at the Max-Planck-Institute and worked as a policy researcher at the OECD. Outside of research, I enjoy reading, socializing with friends, and visiting art galleries.",

bio: "Tasha J. Kim is a DPhil student jointly supervised by Dr. Oiwi Parker Jones and Prof. Perla Maiolino. Her research explores the intersection of brain function and robotic reasoning, focusing on neuro-symbolic AI systems that interpret neural and behavioral signals to guide robot manipulation and decision-making. She aims to develop robots that serve as collaborative and augmentative partners to humans. Before joining PNPL, Tasha completed her M.S. from Stanford University and B.Sc. from Brown University, and worked for Google and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).",
bio: "Alex Fung is a DPhil student in Neurosurgery, co-supervised with Alex Green. He started his DPhil in 2024 and joined PNPL in 2025. His research focuses on the clinical application of neural decoding for minimally conscious patients.",
