Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrás Ecker is a research manager and computational neuroscientist with a decade of experience building data-driven models and pipelines that bridge biophysics, bioinformatics, and machine learning. After completing an in silico PhD at the Blue Brain Project (EPFL) focused on plasticity in large-scale cortical models, he has applied that expertise to developing and validating Cytocast’s Digital Twin Platform, coordinating simulator development with ML research. His background includes cross-disciplinary internships at UCL, GE Healthcare, and work converting large hippocampal models to NeuroML during Google Summer of Code, reflecting strong reproducible-modeling and software skills. Based in Budapest, he combines deep domain knowledge of neural tissue modeling with practical engineering—uncovering tractable solutions for previously unseen problems while still finding time for horse riding and conference sightseeing.
