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, one of the most notable was at the Brain Simulation Section of the Neurology Department (Charité Hospital, Berlin) through a José Castillejo fellowship. His research focuses on: 1) the analysis and simulation of spontaneous neurophysiological activity using both spiking neural networks and neural mass models to understand and replicate connectivity transitions during the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, and 2) the application of brain-inspired processing techniques to address engineering problems.
