Pulse of Science
I obtained a Master's degree in Physics from The Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Zagreb in 2020. After completing a Master thesis project investigating electrochemical properties of organic electrolytic photocapacitors (OEPCs) for neuroscientific applications, I decided to pursue scientific research in the topic of neuroscience. In November 2020 I joined Laboratory of Biosensors and Bioelectronics (LBB) as a PhD student to study connectivity properties and information flow and storage in low-density, spatially patterened in vitro biological neuronal networks. Using the advantage of reduced complexity of our neuronal systems, I try to bridge the gap between in vitro and in silico, developing in parallel a simulation of our networks in the NEURON Simulation Environment.
