Summary
Barbara Feulner is a data scientist and trained physicist with a decade of experience applying machine learning to neuroscience and medical imaging. Currently a PhD researcher-turned-industry scientist in London, she builds and evaluates neural network models to probe biological constraints on motor learning and develops self-supervised and multiple-instance learning solutions for digital pathology. Her background spans computational and theoretical neuroscience, human psychophysics, two-photon imaging analysis, and EMG-based HCI research at Meta, reflecting a rare blend of experimental collaboration and algorithmic rigor. She has published peer-reviewed work, taught programming and computational neuroscience, and repeatedly translated complex lab data into reproducible analysis pipelines. Notably, she bridges low-level biophysical modeling and modern deep learning approaches, making her comfortable moving between principled theory and production-ready ML.
