Senior researcher
Computational neuroscience
Gianluca Susi earned his PhD in Sensor and Learning Systems Engineering from the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” in 2012, where he later served as an adjunct professor in Electrical Circuits and Sound Engineering. Currently, Gianluca is a senior researcher at the Center for Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience (UCM) and Assistant Professor in the Department of Structure of Matter, Thermal Physics, and Electronics (Faculty of Physical Sciences, UCM).
Among his research stays, it is worth highlighting the one carried out at the Brain Simulation Section of the Department of Neurology (Charité Hospital, Berlin) through a José Castillejo fellowship, as well as the one carried out at IFISC (University of the Balearic Islands / CSIC, Palma de Mallorca). His research focuses on: 1) the analysis and simulation of spontaneous neurophysiological activity, using both spiking neural networks and neuronal mass models, to understand and reproduce brain connectivity transitions during the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, and 2) the application of brain-inspired processing techniques to address engineering problems.
