Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan De Gee is an Assistant Professor of Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience with 12 years of interdisciplinary research experience spanning human and rodent studies. He combines computational behavioral modeling, pupillometry, electrophysiology and two-photon imaging to investigate how neuromodulatory systems shape attention and decision-making, translating methods across species and scales. Jan has contributed substantive data-science and algorithmic improvements to the widely used suite2p calcium-imaging toolkit, notably enhancing motion-correction and registration workflows. His academic trajectory includes a PhD focused on neuromodulation in human decision processes and postdoctoral work dissecting attentional effort in mice, reflecting a rare blend of human neuroimaging and cellular-resolution expertise. Based in Zaandam, he mentors students and builds reproducible analysis pipelines that bridge computational models with experimental neuroscience.
