Archer Moore

Archer's PhD research focus is causal generative modelling and its application to semi-supervised learning. He is also interested in the applications of causality to style-based 3D generative models. Prior to commencing PhD, he completed an Honours project which investigated the connection between brain network topology and irreparable cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s Disease. He is currently also doing some extra work with Prof. Anne-Louise Ponsonby & her multidisciplinary team at The Florey Institute, exploring the effect of microplastics on neurodevelopment in an epidemiological cohort.
