I am a systems neuroscientist and electrophysiologist studying the brain’s neuronal network dynamics. I am an incoming group leader at the Neuroscience department at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. My research is focused on spatial memory and the involved mechanisms like theta oscillations in behaving rats, and the development of related tools. This is funded by a Lundbeck Fellowship.
I did my postdoc in the lab of György Buzsáki at NYU Neuroscience Institute. I received funding for my postdoc from the Danish Council for Independent Research and the Lundbeck Foundation.
During my Ph.D. I studied the network architecture behind motor pattern generation, using combined high-density silicon probes together with intracellular- and electroneurogram recordings from the turtle spinal cord. I graduated from University of Copenhagen in 2015 from the lab of Rune Berg.

Paper in Nature Communications: Decoupling of timescales reveals sparse convergent CPG network in the adult spinal cord
Abstract: During the generation of rhythmic movements, most spinal neurons receive an oscillatory synaptic drive. The neuronal architecture underlying this drive is unknown, and the corresponding network size and [...]
