Our PhD student, Nam Trinh, co-supervised by Tomas Ward at Dublin City University’s Insight Research Ireland Centre for Data Analytics, successfully defended his PhD and did so brilliantly!
His thesis, “Machine learning approaches to uncover the neural mechanisms of motivated behavior: from ADHD to individual differences in effort and reward sensitivity,” reflects four years of work at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning.
Congratulations, Nam! It’s been a pleasure to supervise this journey and to see this work come to life.
Special thanks to the examiners, David McGovern and Richard Roche, for their feedbacks and the engaging discussions. And thank you to Dongyun (Robin) Nie for chairing the viva voce!
