معرفی
Professor Holger G Krapp is a Professor of Systems Neuroscience in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London's Faculty of Engineering. He holds affiliations with the Centre for Neurotechnology, Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Technology Network, and Robotics Forum. His research focuses on sensorimotor control mechanisms in insects, particularly blowflies, integrating neurobiology with engineering principles. Key areas include visual processing, flight dynamics, and biohybrid robotics.
Education: Earned a Diploma in Biology (Neurobiology) from the University of Tübingen (1992) and a Dr. rer. nat. (PhD) from the Max-Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics (1995). Postdoctoral research included work at Caltech and Bielefeld University before joining Imperial College as a Senior Lecturer in 2005.
Research interests emphasize how insects process visual and sensory information to control movement, with applications in robotics and neurotechnology. Recent work explores optic flow processing, closed-loop control systems, and biohybrid interfaces for real-time behavioral analysis. His publications highlight innovative methodologies like high-speed X-ray imaging and neural recording platforms to study flight motor mechanics and neurophysiological responses.
Publications span 25+ years, demonstrating sustained contribution to understanding multisensory integration, neuronal adaptation, and energy-efficient neural coding. Active in interdisciplinary collaboration, his work bridges neuroscience, engineering, and robotics to advance biomimetic technologies and biological system analysis.
