Lab:
My research is focused on vision. I studied electrical engineering and computer science before turning to neuroscience. I did my PhD at ETH Zurich in the laboratory of Matteo Carandini followed by postdoc in in the lab of Clay Reid at Harvard Medical School. In 2011, I moved to Leuven to start my own lab and help founding NERF. My research is centered on the visual cortex, its circuitry and its contribution to sensory perception and behavior. The lab applies methods from biology, engineering and physics to elucidate mechanisms of sensory processing. Together with Fabian Kloosterman, I teach a Master's level class on Neural Systems & Circuits.
