Lecturer, Computer Science, Loughborough University
Shirin Dora is currently a Lecturer in Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science at Loughborough University. He completed his PhD from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore on the topic of developing biologically plausible learning approaches for spiking neural networks. During his PhD, he developed a keen interest in the mechanisms of perception and cognition in the brain.
This led him to pursue a post-doctoral research in computational neuroscience at the cognitive and systems neuroscience group at the University of Amsterdam. In his postdoctoral research, he collaborated with experimentalists in building deep biologically plausible models of perception and multisensory integration in the brain. From October, 2019 to September, 2021, he was a Lecturer of Data Analytics in the Intelligent Systems Research Centre at Ulster University in United Kingdom.
