Welcome to my webpage!

I'm Ahmed Eladly, a neuroengineer specializing in neural stimulation, small animal surgeries, and advanced statistical modeling of neural data. I earned my PhD in Information and Communication Technologies under Prof. Antoni Ivorra at the Biomedical Electronics Research Group (BERG), Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona.

I currently work as a research scientist in the Vestibular Neuroscience Lab< led by Prof. Larry Hoffman at UCLA, focusing on Bayesian inference models for vestibular processing in animals. Previously, I held a postdoc at the University of Manchester, validating closed-loop deep brain stimulation for neuromodulation as well as developing a deep learning model to predict blood perfusion from recorded cortical activity with INBRAIN Neuroelectronics.

Outside research, I enjoy spending time with my wife, studying math, and writing code.
