Hi there 👋, Rory here.

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 run Flywheel, creating policy and funding incentives for talented engineers to build transformative tools for science.

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