Jiapeng Liu
MEng (Hons)
DPhil student
I obtained my MEng in Biomedical Engineering from Imperial College London in June 2024. My undergraduate project, SnailBorg, supervised by Professor Simon Schultz, involved building an educational experimental setup to record action potentials from the ganglia of snails. For my master’s project, under the guidance of Dr Juan Gallego, I applied a high-dimensional approach, known as neural manifold, to decode running speed from calcium imaging data collected from the CA1 region of the hippocampus in mice.
I am currently a DPhil student in Oxford Neural Interfacing Group under the supervision of Professor James FitzGerald. My research focuses on Brain-Machine Interfaces, specifically on how to stimulate the sensory cortex to restore the sense of touch.
