MOHAMED HESHAM KHALIL
I am a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge. My research is about neuroplasticity, the dynamic nature of the human brain, and how the physical environment drives it. I explore how those dynamics can make or break the needed neurosustainability for cognitive and mental health.

ABOUT
Mohamed is pursuing his PhD at the University of Cambridge, funded by Cambridge Trust. He is working on environmental influences on neuroplasticity and how those dynamics affect public health.
Before attending Cambridge, Mohamed had a postgraduate-level certification in psychology from Harvard University and an interdisciplinary master’s degree in architecture, psychology, and applied neuroscience from the American University in Cairo.
