Thrilled to share I've been awarded a generous 3 years @dfg.de "Own Position" grant! 🎉 My project: modeling how dendritic integration in GABAergic interneurons (PV+, SOM+, VIP+, human Rosehip cells) shapes species-specific oscillations — theta–gamma in rodents vs beta–gamma in humans.

Had the pleasure of speaking at the FENS Forum 2026 Brain Debate “From animals to alternatives and the future of research models” in Barcelona. My contribution focused on the growing role of computational modelling in shaping future research strategies #FENS2026

New preprint! Sharp-wave ripples are the most synchronous events in the hippocampus. So why do they stay local? We found that inhibitory activity and inhibitory topology do fundamentally different things. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.06.30.735500v1

Local inhibitory topology dictates the spatial compartmentalization of hippocampal sharp-wave ripples

Hippocampal sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) are essential for memory consolidation and represent among the most synchronous oscillatory events in the brain. Yet, despite their capacity for widespread synchr...

Science needs mentors not just good supervisors. Very happy and proud to see that my mentor Dietmar Schmitz got the recognition he trully deserves! Congratulations!

Excited to share our new preprint! We use advanced models to show how PV+ interneurons can toggle hippocampal rhythms, switching between memory encoding & recall states simply by activating different nonlinear dendritic branches. 🧠⚡️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
