People

Pip started the lab in Nov 2023, confident in his ability to recruit a team of superior minds (i.e. other minds). When not sciencing, he enjoys boardgames, squash, and (arguably) superfluous 3D printing

Philip (Pip) Coen

Group Leader

First lab member! Although they do not like coffee, rich tea biscuits, or 3D printing, so…? When not sciencing, they consume an alarming number of movies and books, and generate the vast majority of lab quotes.

Ainiah Masood

PhD Student

First lab posdoc! After Gary joined, the number of rigs, workflows, and abandoned coffees multiplied. When not sciencing, he tinkers with wood and electronics (so… still sciencing), video games, and films.

Gerion (Gary) Nabbefeld

Research Fellow

Our first undergrad! Joined the lab for a summer, and stayed on for a third year project. When not sciencing, he enjoys competitive frisbee–perhaps too competitive based on the injury-rate!

Jenkin Zhang

Undergraduate

Joined the lab to build a new audiovisual VR environment–presumbably to escape the terrible reality of his chosen lab… When not sciencing, he plays badminton, tennis, and boardgames.

Thomas (Tom) Childs

PhD Student

Traveled from the USA to build tools for freely-moving AV mouse experiments–involving slightly more 3D printing than anticipated… When not sciencing, he plays guitar, and enjoys films, theater, and Scifi.

Hamid Turker

Research Fellow

Our first RA! Thanks to lab refurbishment, this started with a more A and less R than he was promised, but I’m sure the rich tea biscuits make up for it… When not sciencing he enjoys not filling out his hobbies on the lab page.
