Alistair Cooper

Working in:

  • Biomechanics
  • Neurofeedback
  • Virtual reality

Doctoral researcher primarily investigating the use of neurofeedback in combination with virtual reality technology to aid chronic pain. Project is still very early stage and under development, there are aims to use motion capture data and biomechanical analysis to investigate any physical improvements besides reduction in pain too.

I am a Researcher. I have excellent skills in computer science, biomedical engineering, neuroscience, data science, cancer cell biology, and bioinformatics. Currently, I am working on the CASP15 project, In this project I am working on protein structure prediction with the help of a machine-learning algorithm and also I am working on a neuroscience project at FENS. Previously I have done many thesis and project work in terms of neuroscience with the help of natural language processing, and deep learning. I am also doing my research in cancer biology in an open lab at Cancer Research UK.
My Area of Interest:- Clinical Research in Medicine, Neuroscience, Cell Biology, Cancer Biology, Computer Science and related fields, etc.
