Committee 2023/24 — UCL Neuroscience Society

Management

Miriam Jansen - President

Welcome to NeuroSoc! This may be my last year at UCL, but I’m still really excited to see where NeuroSoc will go, and what you guys think of our events this year. My plan is to try new things with the society, and hopefully leave behind a more creative and diverse version for future years!

Yuvraj Jadeja - President

Hello! I’m Yuvraj and welcome to Neurosoc. Heading into year 3 and on the Msci route. Looking forward to an exciting year ahead as co-pres along with Miriam! We’ve some pretty fun and cool stuff in the works for you. In terms of Neuroscience, my interests are in the systems, computational and AI side of things. Outside of neuro, perhaps find me in the library, studying… (neuro) or at a climbing wall!

Yurika Noumi - Vice-President

Hey, I’m Yurika but most of my friends call me Yuri! I’m a 2nd year BSc Neuroscience student and vice president for the year! So far, translational and behavioural neuroscience interest me most but recently I got to branch out into developmental neurobiology. In my free time, catch me listening to RnB, going to morning spin classes, catching up with friends over coffee, or being involved in volunteer commitments. I’m looking forward to making our goals and initiatives a reality!

Events

Sophie Vose - Social Secretary

Szymon Lic - Academic Events Officer

Hello, I'm Szymon, an Academic Event Officer! I'm currently in my second year of a BSc in Neuroscience. My academic interests are centred on understanding how the brain encodes sensory information. Additionally, I am learning the basics of coding to explore its potential applications in neuroscience. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and weightlifting. My goal within the society is to organise lectures that will genuinely engage everyone's interest. I want to introduce a range of topics, from neural networks to mental health, that resonate with both newcomers and seasoned students of neuroscience.

Shaan Ramnah - Diverisity and Welfare

Hi I’m shaan and I will be your diversity officer this year. I like watching sitcoms and hopefully I can plan some good enjoyable events this year but we shall see.
