Jack Hamilton is from Newcastle, NSW. He was recently awarded a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) from the University of NSW, with First Class Honours and the University Medal in Neuroscience. His Honours thesis – awarded the Paxinos and Watson Neuroscience Honours Prize and the highest mark in the past five years – investigated a new implantable device capable of delivering electrical current to nerve fibres to improve the treatment of neuropathic pain. He is currently working to publish this research. Outside of neuroscience, Jack’s interests include rugby union and piano, oil painting, and ocean swimming. With his World Universities Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship, Jack will study the Master of Science in Neuroscience at Oxford. Here he will explore how neuroscientists can use cutting-edge technology to decode abnormal brain activity, to better understand and treat various neurological and psychiatric disorders. In the future, Jack plans to pursue a PhD and a career advancing the frontiers of neuroscience.
