Klaus Obermayer

Professor Klaus Obermayer is a faculty member at Technical University of Berlin's Institute for Software Engineering and Theoretical Computer Science. He actively contributes to the Cluster of Excellence 2002: Science of Intelligence (SCIoI) and leads subprojects in Collaborative Research Centers focused on brain oscillations and memory consolidation.

His research spans computational neuroscience, machine learning, and cognitive science with emphasis on neural dynamics modeling, reinforcement learning, and brain stimulation techniques. Work integrates theoretical frameworks with experimental validation in decision-making, visual categorization, and robotic control systems.

Professor Obermayer maintains substantial DFG funding through active participation in SCIoI and leadership in Collaborative Research Centers. His project portfolio demonstrates consistent success in securing competitive grants since the early 2000s, including multiple Priority Programs and Research Training Groups where he served as speaker for GRK 1589.

He operates within Berlin's vibrant neuroscience ecosystem through affiliations with the Berlin School of Mind and Brain (GSC 86) and Science of Intelligence cluster, facilitating cross-institutional collaboration between TU Berlin, Freie Universität, and Humboldt-Universität.
