Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristian Gaser is an associate professor and leader in computational neuroscience with 18 years of experience developing advanced algorithms and software for structural brain imaging. Based at the University of Jena, he heads the Structural Brain Mapping Group and has built widely used tools—most notably the Computational Anatomy Toolbox with over 40,000 downloads—that enable voxel- and surface-based morphometry, segmentation, and disease prediction. Trained in electrical engineering and neuroscience (MSc, PhD), he bridges signal-processing rigor with neuroimaging applications, focusing on reproducible pipelines for surface reconstruction and quantitative biomarkers. His work combines deep methodological development with practical community impact, and he maintains an active research lab that translates algorithmic innovations into software relied upon across the neuroimaging field.
