Dr Robert Peach
Robert is an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Brain Sciences and is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wuerzburg. Previously, Robert was a research associate in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London and completed his PhD in the application of maths and physical chemistry to biological systems in the Department of Chemistry. Prior to his PhD, Robert completed an MRes in chemical biology at Imperial College and an MPhys at the University of Bristol. Robert's research focuses on the development of mathematical methodologies for investigating complex and dynamical systems, such as the brain. In particular, he is interested in graph theory and its relationships with geometry and machine learning. He is also developing methods for identifying higher order mechanisms and behaviours in observable data and how this can be translated into higher-order network structures.

Jonathan is the senior PET/MRI imaging engineer at Invicro London. His INS lab work focuses upon maintenance and development of lab instrumentation and equipment. Jon received a BSc in Electronic Engineering, an MSc in Neuroscience and a PhD in Computational Neuroscience from King's College London, where he developed an autonomous neurally-controlled mobile robot based upon biological nervous system architecture. Jon has a further BSc in Mathematics and is an Imperial College honorary research fellow in Clinical Neurology, Department of Brain Sciences. Additionally he is the director of Blue Magnet Ltd, a company that provides software development, electronic design, machining, fabrication and 3D printing services for medical research: https://jonathanh13.wixsite.com/bluemagnet
Dr Danielle Kurtin

Danielle is a postdoctoral researcher at Imperial College London. Beginning in August 2024, she will commence her Imperial College Research Fellowship investigating the complementary mechanisms of psychedelic drugs and personalised Temporal Interference (TI) brain stimulation. This continues Danielle's research using neuroimaging and neuromodulation to develop a mechanistic understanding of context-dependent brain function and how it goes awry in disease states. Her primary translational focus is addiction research, and the methodology central to her research consists of information and graph theoretic measures of brain state connectivity and dynamics. Previously, Danielle completed her PhD in Computational Neuroscience at the University of Surrey, MSc in Translational Neuroscience at Imperial College London and BSc in Biological Sciences at the University of Florida. Outside of neuroscience, Danielle serves as a trustee on the Board of Directors for UniArk, a registered educational charity in the UK and is the co-founder of a podcast highlighting the global dimensions of addiction, Craving Clarity.
