معرفی
Zahra Bagheri is a Postdoctoral Researcher affiliated with the Perception Research Group at the University of Oxford. She holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Engineering, and her work bridges neuroscience, engineering, and biology. Her research investigates neural mechanisms underlying vision and visual behavior in animals, with a focus on applying these insights to engineering solutions.
Bagheri employs behavioral experiments, neural recordings, and computational modeling to study visual processing in insects, crustaceans, and humans. Her recent work explores deep-sea hyperiid amphipods’ visual systems, fiddler crab escape behaviors, and the development of bio-inspired autonomous systems. She has pioneered methods combining VR technology with machine vision to create low-latency experimental environments.
Her contributions span biomimetic robotics and computational models of sensory systems. Notable projects include an insect-inspired target-tracking robot and models of selective attention mechanisms in crustaceans. Bagheri collaborates across disciplines, integrating neurophysiological data with engineering design principles.
Her research emphasizes translating biological efficiency into technological applications, with implications for robotics, medical devices, and environmental monitoring systems.
