Amin Azimi

Dr. Amin Azimi is a Research Associate in Computational Neuroscience at the School of Computing, Engineering and Intelligent Systems, Ulster University. His work focuses on understanding neural mechanisms underlying decision-making, sleep physiology, and neural oscillations. He holds a research role at the Derry~Londonderry campus and is affiliated with the Computer Science Research group.

Research interests include computational modeling of cortical circuits, dynamic causal modeling (DCM) applications, hippocampal-thalamic interactions during sleep, and neural oscillation dynamics. His recent work explores how neural oscillations modulate decision confidence and speed, as well as frequency-dependent mechanisms in multi-regional sleep spindle coordination.

Key contributions include studies on multistable neural circuits for decision-making, limitations of DCM frameworks, and the role of hippocampal-cortical connections in sleep spindle-ripple coordination. His earlier work also included plant physiological studies involving SiO2 nanoparticles and seed germination.

No formal student advisees or awarded grants are listed in provided information. His research is centered at the intersection of computational neuroscience and systems biology, with a focus on translational neurophysiological mechanisms.
