Melody will be doing research part-time
21 Sep 2025Hi! My name is Melody. I enjoy music and playing instruments, funnily enough.
I’m a third-year computer science student doing a minor in cognitive science. I have quite a bit of experience with AI but I’ve always been interested in neuroscience, so this part-time research role is really exciting for me. I’m looking forward to learning about brains of all kinds, whether they’re simulated or fleshy.
This term, I’ll be continuing Ben’s work on modelling the synchronization of applause in large crowds. If two audience members are far apart, they will experience a noticeable delay in the clapping sound coming from the other. I’ll be looking into how this affects audience abilities to synchronize.
