Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFelix Kern is a multidisciplinary researcher and maker with 13 years of experience applying computational methods to neuroscience, now based in Tokyo and working as a brewmaster while maintaining a strong research pedigree. He holds a PhD in Computational Neuroscience and has developed machine-learning-driven algorithms, CUDA-parallelised tools, and user-friendly software to optimise neuron models and accelerate collaborators’ research. Comfortable bridging domains, Felix pairs hands-on single-cell electrophysiology and data visualisation with a background in translation and team leadership, so he routinely mediates between technical and non-technical stakeholders. His career includes postdoctoral roles at IRCN and the University of Sussex, and an unusual combination of brewing, freelance web development and military technical leadership that speaks to practical problem-solving and process discipline.
