Dr Michael McCullough

Dr McCullough is a computational neuroscientist who works at the interface between complex biological phenomena and methods from machine learning and mathematics to study how the brain processes information and controls behaviour. He was awarded his BEng (Hons) in electrical and electronic engineering and BMus (Hons) in music performance in 2013, and his PhD in applied mathematics in 2018 from The University of Western Australia. After graduating he was a postdoctoral research associate with the UWA Young Lives Matter Foundation working on new computational approaches in clinical mental health. In late 2018 he moved to the Queensland Brain Institute at The University of Queensland as a research fellow in computational neuroscience studying information processing in the developing brain using a range of approaches including computer vision, network science, data science, complex systems and computational ethology. At the end of 2022 Dr McCullough joined ANU as a Jubilee Joint Fellow with the School of Computing and the Eccles Institute at the John Curtin School of Medical Research.
