معرفی
Professor Simon Schultz is a Professor of Neurotechnology and Director of the Centre for Neurotechnology at Imperial College London’s Faculty of Engineering. He holds affiliate faculty status at the Sainsbury-Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour at UCL. His research focuses on understanding memory mechanisms in the brain and developing neurotechnologies to treat memory disorders. He leads a lab specializing in neurotechnology development, experimental neuroscience, and computational modeling.
Education includes a BSc/B.E. (Hons) from Monash University, ME(Res) from the University of Sydney, and a DPhil in computational neuroscience from Oxford University. Postdoctoral work included experimental neuroscience at NYU and UCL before joining Imperial in 2004.
Research interests span neural coding, Alzheimer’s Disease modeling, and neurotechnology innovation. His lab develops advanced imaging techniques (e.g., multi-photon microscopy) and robotic electrophysiology systems. Recent work explores how amyloid pathology disrupts neural coding in Alzheimer’s models and how spatial memory circuits malfunction during disease progression.
Awards and recognitions are not explicitly listed in the provided texts, though his leadership roles and prolific publication record suggest significant contributions to the field.
