Rory Byrne

I'm a PhD student at Cambridge working on spiking neural networks under Prof. Tim O'Leary. My research focuses on the role of neuronal biophysics in network-level computation, with applications in AI. I am also interested in software design and devtools, with a particular focus on tools for science.

My background is software design and entrepreneurship - I've founded two startups, advised several others, and regularly publish open source tools. I help organise CompMotifs, a collective of computational scientists interested in new tools-for-science.

You can find me on twitter and bluesky, or email me at "rory" at this domain.
