Professor Karin Nordstrom

Director, Neuroscience

Karin Nordstrom is a Professor in Neuroscience and an Australian Research Council Future Fellow. She is interested in motion vision and uses hoverflies to understand the neural mechanisms underlying sensory selectivity. She is particularly interested in how insects, with small nervous systems and poor spatial resolution compound eyes, are able to respond robustly to small targets moving rapidly across cluttered backgrounds. She is passionate about community engagement and the importance of curiosity-driven science.
