Before coming to Nottingham, Maria did two years in Licenciatura en Ciencias Biológicas (Bachelor in Biological Sciences) at Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, Argentina. She learned to programme outside of her undergraduate studies and is eager to join what she learned with neurobiological information. Now, she's a final year student of the MSci in Neuroscience at the University of Nottingham while she collaborates with the research group using Machine Learning techniques until her graduation.
Tasks:
