Marcel Stephan Kehl

Marcel Stephan Kehl is a Junior Research Fellow and Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, focusing on the intersection of sleep and memory through intracranial recordings in epilepsy patients to elucidate physiological mechanisms of memory consolidation.

His educational background includes:

• PhD and MSc from the University of Bonn
• MSc from the University of Toronto
• BSc from the University of Bonn

Dr. Kehl's research centers on neuroscience, specifically sleep physiology and memory encoding, investigating neuronal mechanisms during sleep and developing non-invasive techniques to enhance memory and counter cognitive decline. His doctoral work examined odor encoding in the human brain, and he previously contributed to astrophysics research including the Nobel Prize-winning gravitational waves discovery with LIGO and tests of general relativity using pulsars.

He supports women's education in Colombia through NGO work beyond his academic pursuits.
