Work with thought leaders and academic experts in Neuroscience

Yseult Héjja-Brichard received her PhD in Neuroscience, Cognition, and Behaviour from Université Paul-Sabatier Toulouse, France in 2020. She subsequently completed her first postdoctoral training at the Centre for functional and evolutionary ecology (CNRS) in Montpellier, France. She is now working as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Yseult Héjja-Brichard’s research interests lie at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and behavioural ecology. Her work has primarily focused on understanding how the brain efficiently processes information to enable decisions and behaviours. She informs those processes using an evolutionary and ecological perspective.

Ramy Ayoub obtained his Ph.D. in Medical Biophysics from the University of Toronto in 2023, where he developed a strong foundation in the principles and applications in neuroscience, statistics, machine learning, imaging & radiation physics. During his time at the University of Toronto, Ramy has been involved in conducting cutting-edge research in the field, with a focus on developing new technologies and pharmacological interventions to improve healthcare outcomes. He is passionate about using his skills and expertise to make a positive impact in the medical field and is dedicated to advancing the field through his ongoing research and contributions.

Victoria Mattingly, PhD (Dr. V) is founder and CEO of Mattingly Solutions, a workplace inclusion consulting firm. Her life mission is to use organizational science to improve the human experience at work, especially for underrepresented and historically excluded groups. Dr. V is a published author, an academic researcher, has taught in business schools globally, and is an esteemed speaker thought leader in the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) field. She earned her PhD in Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology from Colorado State University, specializing in the science of workplace behavior change interventions. As an organizational psychologist, she turns otherwise abstract concepts like inclusion and allyship into quantifiable metrics. Dr. V is currently focused on bringing more scientific rigor to the DEI space, enabling organizations to better track and assess progress toward reaching their goals. To this end, she recently co-authored (alongside her biz bestie, Sertrice Grice) the book, Inclusalytics: How Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leaders Use Data to Drive Their Work. https://www.amazon.com/Inclusalytics-Diversity-Equity-Inclusion-Leaders/dp/B09WQB2MDD A leader within the Society of Industrial Organizational Psychology, Dr. V currently hosts SIOP's Conversation Series Livestreamed Podcast. https://www.siop.org/Research-Publications/Conversation-Series Dr. V founded Mattingly Solutions in August 2019 on the belief that DEI training alone is never enough to make a real impact on DEI outcomes. DEI done right is embedded in the fabric of a company’s culture, its overall strategy, and considered in every business decision—at all levels of the organization. Before starting Mattingly Solutions, Dr. V worked as and DEI and L&D external consultant at and DDI and Mind Gym, building products that are still being sold and implemented to this day. She also worked on Amazon’s talent assessment team, building innovative training solutions for more inclusive hiring programs, with an emphasis on fair hiring practices and candidate experiences.

Regan Hamel has an MPhil and PhD in Clinical Neurosciences from University of Cambridge. She also has a Bachelor of Science in Neurosciences from McGill University. Her PhD with Stefano Pluchino and John Marioni focused on single cell transcriptomics in the context of neuroinflammation. Since 2021 she has worked as a Bioinformatics scientist at Mogrify Ltd, applying a multitude of computational biology techniques (including single cell omics, bulk RNAseq, and predictive modelling) in the context of cell reprogramming

With over 8 years of experience in neuroscience and bioinformatics, I am a computational biologist who is passionate about applying data science and machine learning to unravel the molecular and cellular mechanisms of complex diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

Luca Delfinis is a PhD candidate at York University where his research focuses on muscle dysfunction in cancer. Luca has been a part of several research collaborations both nationally and internationally throughout his PhD that has helped him gain unique perspectives in physiology, especially in the context of metabolism. He has also presented at several conferences where he has discussed data with leaders in cachexia, metabolism, exercise and more.

I’m a Neuro and Biomedical Imaging specialist with over five years of human based research experience. I’m also a skilled clinician with over ten years of primary patient care roles in emergency medicine.

Dr. Daniel Milej is a multidisciplinary researcher with experience in medical biophysics, electronics, biocybernetics, biomedical optics and engineering. He is highly knowledgeable and experienced in a range of research techniques. He is currently a Research Associate at the Lawson Health Research Institute, leading the transition of multimodal optical imaging systems from a research setting to clinical use in an ICU and OR environment, working closely with teams of nurses, surgeons, doctors and respiratory therapists. Previously he was a postdoctoral fellow working on developing noninvasive modalities for brain activity monitoring in the Department of Medical Biophysics at Western University. Before that, Dr. Milej worked as a researcher at the Nalecz Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering. He obtained his Ph.D. in 2014 from the Polish Academy of Science, specializing in Electronics and Biomedical Engineering. He received his MSc from the Military University of Technology in 2008.
