Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristoph Kirst is an Assistant Professor and Faculty Scientist at UCSF and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with 11 years of experience at the interface of computational and dynamical systems neuroscience. Trained in theoretical physics and mathematics at institutions including the Max Planck Institute, Cambridge and Göttingen, he builds quantitative models that connect neural dynamics to computation and behavior. His career spans rigorous postdoctoral and fellowship work at Rockefeller and the Kavli Neural Systems Institute, where he developed cross-disciplinary approaches marrying theory, data analysis, and experimental collaboration. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he brings a rare blend of deep mathematical training and hands-on neuroscience research, often translating abstract dynamical systems insights into testable predictions for brain circuits.
