Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Zimmermann is an Associate Professor of Neuroscience with 11 years of research and academic experience focused on the neural mechanisms of decision making and value representation. He combines rigorous experimental neuroscience with quantitative approaches—mathematics and engineering—to probe how temporal and spatial context shapes neural coding and choice dynamics. Based at the University of Minnesota and affiliated with the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, he brings deep expertise in neuroimaging and neural computation from a trajectory spanning PhD work in neurophysics to postdoctoral and faculty roles at NYU. Outside the lab he designs open-source hardware and software tools for neuroscience, reflecting a practical, circuit-enthusiast mindset that bridges silicon and organic systems.
