معرفی
Dr. Jan Lause is a PostDoc in the Department of Data Science at the Hertie Institute for AI in Brain Health, University of Tübingen, researching neural computations in the retina and single-cell RNA sequencing data analysis.
His educational background:
- PhD in Neural Data Science (2018-2024), University of Tübingen
- M.Sc. in Neuroscience (2016-2018), University of Tübingen
- Bioinformatics studies (2015-2016), University of Frankfurt
- B.Sc. in Psychology (2011-2015), University of Göttingen
Jan's research integrates Neuroscience, Bioinformatics, and Machine Learning to develop statistical models for single-cell RNA sequencing data normalization and visualization. He investigates how dimensionality reduction techniques like t-SNE and UMAP preserve biological signals while identifying methodological distortions, with current work focused on amacrine cell functions in retinal signal processing to the brain.
He contributes to the Representation Learning and Data Visualization and Neuronal Modeling research groups, and actively participates in science communication through AI/sustainability writing and the "KI macht Schule" outreach initiative teaching AI fundamentals in German schools.
