Summary
Neal Mckee is a computational neuroscience master’s student and research assistant with a decade of multidisciplinary experience bridging biology, art, and technology. He currently develops reinforcement-learning agents in agent-based simulations to study swarming and foraging behaviors in zebrafish at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, blending quantitative modeling with biological insight. His background includes hands-on teaching of physiology and anatomy, freelance translation of film and art texts, and a diploma in fine art photography, reflecting strong communication skills and an eye for visual detail. Neal’s training in medical biology (BSc, top grade) and Computational Neuroscience (MSc) enables him to translate complex experimental questions into computational experiments and interpretable results. Notably, his portfolio mixes rigorous lab-based education with creative practice, making him adept at interdisciplinary projects that require both technical depth and narrative clarity.
