Dr. Nicolas Deperrois received his Master's degree in Computational Neuroscience from the Ecole Normale Supérieure and his Ph.D. in deep learning and neuroscience from the University of Bern. He is now working as an NLP Engineer at the Krauthammer Lab. His research interests mainly include Computational Neuroscience, Computational Modeling, and Neurobiology.
Dr. Mihai A. Petrovici works as a Senior Researcher and a Group Leader at the Neuro-inspired Theory, Modeling and Applications, Department of Physiology, University of Bern in Bern, Switzerland. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Physics from Heidelberg University in 2015. His research interests mainly focus on Computational Neuroscience, Theoretical Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, and Brain-inspired Computing. His scientific output includes 41 publications in various journals with an h-index of 15 (Scopus, January 2024).
Dr. Jakob Jordan works as an Assistant at the Computational Neuroscience Group, Department of Physiology, University of Bern in Bern, Switzerland. His research interest mainly focuses on Computational Neuroscience. His scientific output includes 17 publications in various journals with an h-index of 7 (Scopus, January 2024).
Senn studied Mathematics, Physics, and Russian at the University of Bern, with a Master's in Mathematics (1990) and a PhD with specialty in differential geometry and calculus of variation (1993). During his PhD, he further studied dynamical systems at Lomonosov University in Moscow and obtained a degree as a high school teacher from the University of Zurich. In the Neural Network group at the Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at the University of Bern, he was modeling pattern generation in the spinal cord and engaged in industry projects related to pattern recognition. After a postdoc in Neural Computation at Hebrew University, Jerusalem (Prof. I. Segev) and research stays at the National Institute of Health (USA) and the Center for Neural Sciences, New York University (Prof. J. Rinzel), he joined the Department of Physiology, University of Bern (1999). Since 2006, he has been a full professor of Computational Neuroscience and co-director in the same department. Using mathematical models of synapses and neurons, he investigates how cognitive phenomena such as perception, learning, and memory can emerge from neuronal structures. He was Co-Editor-in-Chief of Biological Cybernetics (2006-2017), a member of the scientific executive board of SystemsX.ch (2009-2016) and the SNSF Research Commission of the University of Bern (2014-2022), and an advisory board member of the Center of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (CAIM), University of Bern (2021-present).
