Executive Committee

President 
​​Liam Lee

I am a 5th year medical student with a strong interest for neurology. I look forward to integrating online platforms to our projects and assisting each committee team to make the best of this academic year!
​Vice-President
Jay Park

I am currently a 5th year medical student with a keen interest in Neurosurgery. I was born in Korea and raised in South Africa. As the Vice-president this year, I plan to broaden the interactions of our society to a global scale and successfully facilitate our events in a hybrid (online/offline) approach. I hope to contribute to all the aspects of our society to open up new opportunities for our members in this academic year. My interests are in business, music, stocks, archery, golf, and festivals.

Secretary 
​Julian Kwong

I am a 4th year medical student at the University of Edinburgh. Although my main role as secretary will involve managing the EUNS social media, I look forward to contributing to the different events organised by the society!

Treasurer
Shujaa Khan

​I am a 4th year medical student, having completed my first three pre-clinical years at St Andrews. I am particularly interested in Neurosurgery with a specific research interest in the use of VR for surgical training. My main aim in helping attain the society’s objective is making events affordable whilst maintaining innovation and high standards.

Marketing Executive

Co-ordinator
​Martin Rozenzweig O'Dogherty

​My name is Martin and I am currently a 2nd year medical student. I am deeply interested in neurology and neurosurgery and am excited to continue developing this interest during my time in medical school.  As the marketing executive, I hope to work with the different committees in the development of projects and events. Furthermore, I am aiming to build bridges with neurological societies of universities across the UK and beyond to ensure that the different events put forward by the different committee groups are well advertised and available.

Conference Team

Co-ordinator
​Prerna Khanna

I am a 2nd year medical student at the University of Edinburgh. I love neuroscience and hope to be a neurologist and conduct my own research one day. I'm excited to be a conference convenor for EUNS and I look forward to reaching as many students as possible who would like to get involved with neuroscience.

Assistant member
Reka Kovacs

I am a 3rd year medical student intercalating in Neuroscience with an interest in research and clinical neurology. I’m excited to be on the International Conference Subcommittee Team this year – looking forward to helping to make this year’s conference a great event for all!

Assistant member
​​Amanda Kung

I am currently a 4th year medical student with a passion for neurology. More specifically, I am very interested in the applications of stem cell therapies in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease. I am excited to work with the rest of the conference team to organise the event this year, and I look forward to increasing student awareness and engagement in neuroscience.

Neuroanatomy Team


Co-ordinator
Jakov Tiefenbach

My name is Jakov and I am now a final year medical student. During my time in Edinburgh, I have been involved in various medical societies and activities - ranging from EUOS to Medics' reveal. As a neuroanatomy lead at EUNS this year, I will aim to develop a set of neuroanatomy tutorials to help Edinburgh students with their exams, as well as in preparation for external competitions. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking and scuba-diving.
​

Neuroscience Team

Co-ordinator
​Ellie Pinkerton

I am currently a 4th year Neuroscience student at the University of Edinburgh, but was born in the United States and grew up in Rome, Italy. I have always been thoroughly interested in the brain, particularly by applications of behavioral and computational neuroscience. However, I am looking forward to bringing interesting content of all neuro domains to the members of EUNS, and many more.   
​
Co-ordinator
​​​Sammir Bushara

Hi! I’m Sammir and I’m a fifth-year medical student. I was born and raised in London and transferred here from St Andrews last year. I have always had an academic interest in neuroscience, and I am strongly considering neurology as a career. I’m excited to help deliver EUNS’s neuroscience events this year, and to make the best of the challenges and opportunities that a virtual format will bring. 

  
Assistant member
Weronika Redos 

Hi! I’m Weronika and I’m currently studying MSc Psychological Research with a specialization in Human Cognitive Neuropsychology. My interest in neuroscience - mostly neuropsychology and neuropathies - has started during my undergraduate studies in the field of Cognitive Science (I was even lucky enough to write my dissertation based on neurophysiological aspects of autism spectrum disorder within mice models of autism). Hopefully, I’d be able to develop my skills and knowledge on these subjects while being a subcommittee of the Neuroscience Team. ​

​My name is Eleanor Parton. I am a 1st year medic whose lockdown consisted of indulging in the slightly bizarre and inspiring world of neuroscience. Aside from the brain, my interests include hockey, conservational biology and drawing, though admittedly I am really quite terrible at the latter.
