Armin Bahl

Prof. Armin Bahl is a Professor and Emmy Noether Group Leader at the University of Konstanz's Department of Collective Behavior, where he directs the Bahl Lab. His research investigates neural circuit mechanisms underlying sensory integration, decision-making, and collective behavior using larval zebrafish models combined with two-photon imaging, behavioral analysis, and computational modeling.

Research focuses on:

• Behavioral algorithms of sensory-motor transformations
• Neural basis of evidence accumulation during decision-making
• Emergent properties in collective behavior
• Development of advanced microscopy tools for brain imaging
• Computational modeling of neural circuit dynamics

His recent publications (2019-2025) demonstrate expertise in behavioral neuroscience, neural circuit mapping, and interdisciplinary approaches bridging biology with computational techniques. Research consistently features zebrafish models, sensory processing mechanisms, and decision-making paradigms.

Awards:

• Emmy Noether Fellowship

He leads an active research group including 8+ PhD students, 4+ postdocs, and multiple undergraduate researchers. The lab collaborates internationally through exchange programs focusing on advanced imaging techniques and computational neuroscience.
