Padraig Gleeson: Principal Research Fellow

Dr. Gleeson's work focuses on the development of tools and standards to facilitate the generation, analysis and sharing of models of neuronal systems. He developed neuroConstruct, an open source graphical application for constructing and analysing 3D networks of biophysically detailed neurons.
He is also the main technical contributor to the NeuroML language for simulator independent model descriptions in neuroscience. He is leading development of the Open Source Brain repository which aims to facilitate the sharing of data in neuroscience and the collaborative development of neuronal models in an open source environment.
His research activities include investigation of information processing in cerebellar and cortical microcircuits. He is also Project Director of the OpenWorm project, which aims to create an in-silico, cell by cell model of the nematode C. elegans.
More recently he has co-founded an international collaboration, ModECI (Model Exchange and Convergence Initiative), which aims to unify representations of computational models across the fields computational neuroscience, cognitive science and machine learning.

Ankur Sinha: Postdoctoral Researcher

Dr. Sinha is contributing to the Kavli Foundation funded project "Tools and standards for single-cell modeling in neuroscience". He is also a key contributor to the NeuroML model development language and the Open Source Brain initiative.
