Overview
In the Informatics - ANC - Machine Learning, Computational Neuroscience, Computational Biology programme offered by The University of Edinburgh we foster world-class interdisciplinary and collaborative research bringing together a range of disciplines.
Our research falls into three areas:
- machine learning
- computational neuroscience
- computational biology
In machine learning we develop probabilistic methods that find patterns and structure in data, and apply them to scientific and technological problems. Applications include areas as diverse as astronomy, health sciences and computing.
In computational neuroscience and neuroinformatics we study how the brain processes information, and analyse and interpret data from neuroscientific experiments.
Career opportunities:
The research you will undertake at ANC is perfectly suited to a career in academia, where you’ll be able to use your knowledge to advance this important field. Some graduates take their skills into commercial research posts, and find success in creating systems that can be used in everyday applications.
Programme Structure
- You carry out your research within a research group under the guidance of a supervisor. You will be expected to attend seminars and meetings of relevant research groups and may also attend lectures that are relevant to your research topic.
