Srdjan Ostojic

Srdjan Ostojic is a CNRS Researcher at the Group for Neural Theory, École Normale Supérieure Paris, leading the Network Dynamics and Computations team within the LNC2 laboratory. His research focuses on understanding neural computations through mathematical modeling and analysis of neural activity recorded from behaving animals.

Dr. Ostojic's academic journey includes a PhD from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Amsterdam (2002-2006), followed by postdoctoral work at the Laboratory of Statistical Physics at École Normale Supérieure Paris (2006-2009) and a prestigious Marie-Curie fellowship at Columbia University (2009-2012).

His research spans computational neuroscience with emphasis on neural dynamics, network modeling, and the relationship between connectivity patterns and computational function in the brain. He investigates how specific network architectures give rise to computational capabilities through mathematical analysis of recurrent neural networks and cortical dynamics.

Dr. Ostojic's publication record reveals consistent contributions to understanding low-rank structures in neural networks, the geometry of population activity, and how network structure influences computation. His work frequently appears in top journals including Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, and Nature Communications, demonstrating significant impact in theoretical neuroscience.
