Senior🎓
Top SchoolJelmer Borst is an Associate Professor in Groningen with a decade-long academic career focused on bridging cognitive computational models and neuroimaging data. He combines deep expertise in computational modeling of cognition (MSc) and artificial intelligence (BSc) with extensive postdoctoral experience at Carnegie Mellon, where he worked directly on aligning brain data with formal cognitive models. His trajectory from PhD student to assistant and now associate professor reflects sustained contributions to computational neuroscience and methodological innovation. Jelmer is known for translating theoretical models into empirically testable frameworks that leverage neuroimaging, bringing rare fluency across modeling, data, and experimental design. Based in Groningen, he blends rigorous academic research with collaborative, interdisciplinary work that often uncovers subtle mismatches between model predictions and neural measurements.
