Neuromatch Ambassadors.
Our Ambassadors are dedicated community members who share their experiences and help spread the word about Neuromatch.
They’re here to answer questions from potential students, connect with university clubs, and even give virtual or in-person talks about our programs and their experience.
Below you’ll find our current Ambassadors, along with their contact information, location, and areas they’re excited to talk about.
