STAFF PROFILE
Dr Shaun Cloherty
Shaun L. Cloherty is a Lecturer in the School of Engineering (Electrical and Biomedical Engineering). He holds a BE (Hons) in Aerospace Avionics (Queensland University of Technology) and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering (University of New South Wales). He has held research positions at UNSW (Sydney, Australia), the Australian National University (Canberra, Australia), the National Vision Research Institute (Melbourne, Australia) and Monash University (Melbourne, Australia). In 2016 he was a visiting scientist in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester (Rochester, USA). His primary research interests in systems neuroscience combine experimental and computational approaches to understand neural coding and information processing in the brain, and the neural basis of perception and behaviour.
