Selin Dolay

Doctoral Scientist

Selin is a PhD student supervised by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen and Dr. Alexandros Tsompanidis.

Her PhD broadly focuses on subgrouping the autism spectrum. More specifically, she aims to examine how autism can be stratified beyond traditional case-control models towards a precision neuroscience framework that captures heterogeneity across the spectrum using data-driven and machine learning approaches to multimodal data. Her work aims to better understand heterogeneity in autism, with the ultimate goal of improving the mental well-being of autistic individuals and their families. 

Selin was awarded the Mehta Kalyan Doctoral Scholarship.

She holds a BSc in Psychology with a neuroscience specialization from the University of Amsterdam, and a First-Class Honours degree in Neuroscience from King’s College London.

Outside of her research, Selin plays for the Cambridge varsity tennis team and is a massive dog lover.
