Cai Wingfield, PhD

I'm a Senior Research Data Scientist at the University of Birmingham

I am funded by the Institute for Data and AI (IDAI), and based in the Research Software Group.

At the University of Birmingham I have collaborated with:

• Hazel Wilkinson, Mike Allaway and Kamilla Kopec-Harding on a project using artificial neural networks to identify and classify printers' ornaments in a database of eighteenth-century manuscripts.
• Kamilla Kopec-Harding and Christine Sheldon on a project using LLMs to model debate in EU parliament.
• Jiarui Zhou, Kamilla Kopec-Harding, Niamh Eastwood and Luisa Orsini on a project forecasting predictors of biodiversity loss in British lakes.
• Jeremy Pike, Sandeep Shirgill and Dylan Owen on a public database of single-molecule-tracking microscopy data.
• Daniel MacSwayne, Jeremy Pike, Jianbo Jiao and Ole Jensen on using artificial neural-network models of object recognition to map the dynamics of visual information processing in the human brain.

I'm a visiting scientist at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit

I work with Andrew Thwaites, Chao Zhang, Alex Woolgar, Chentianyi Yang, Oliver Parish and Anirudh Lakra on computational models of neural processes, with particular foci on visual perception and speech comprehension, associated with the Kymata Atlas and Neuroverse projects at UCL and Tsinghua University.

• MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit

I was a Senior Postdoctoral Research Associate at Lancaster University

I worked with Louise Connell, Briony Banks, Rens van Hoef and Agata Dymarska on computational models for cognitive science, looking at the role of language and simulation in human cognition.

• Lancaster Department of Psychology

I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Cambridge

I worked with William Marslen-Wilson, Lorraine K. Tyler and Su Li on computational models for dynamic neural processes supporting human language comprehension, and multivariate neuroimaging methods.
