معرفی
Prof. Christian Tetzlaff holds a W2 Professorship at the Department for Neuro- and Sensory Physiology, University Medical Center Göttingen. He leads the Computational Synaptic Physiology group, focusing on integrating computational methods to understand neural systems' principles and translating these into technologies like robotics and neuromorphic engineering. His work spans scales from synaptic protein interactions to large neural networks, leveraging disciplines such as nonlinear dynamics and machine learning.
Educational Background:
- 2009: Diploma in Physics, Georg-August University Göttingen
- 2013: PhD in Physics (Dr.rer.nat.), Georg-August University Göttingen
Research Leadership & Grants:
- Principal Investigator in EU Horizon 2020 Projects (Plan4Act, ADOPD, Human Brain Project's FIPPA)
- Lead in DFG-funded SFB 1286 (Quantitative Synaptology)
- INRC member (Intel Neuromorphic Research Community)
- BMBF-funded KISSKI project (2022–present)
Research Interests: His lab explores synaptic mechanisms underlying learning, memory consolidation via synaptic tagging-and-capture, and neuromorphic hardware implementations. Recent work emphasizes calcium signaling in synapses, memristive devices for synaptic working memory, and robust trajectory generation using neuromorphic chips like Loihi.
Affiliations: Co-coordinator of Plan4Act (2017–2021) and active in the Göttingen Graduate Center for Neurosciences (GGNB). Collaborates globally with institutions like the Weizmann Institute and Columbia University.
