Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWerner Van Geit is a project leader in high-performance neuroscience with 12 years of experience bridging computational neuroscience and software engineering. He has led teams at EPFL’s Blue Brain Project and now heads High Performance Neuroscience at the IT'IS Foundation, combining deep domain expertise in biophysics and mathematical modeling with strong Python and computer science skills. His career spans hands-on systems engineering, group leadership, and long-term academic research, including work at OIST and a decade of theoretical neurobiology at the University of Antwerp. Known for turning complex neuronal models into performant, reproducible software, he brings both academic rigor and production-grade engineering to large-scale simulation challenges. Based in Seengen, Switzerland, he pairs a master's in computer science with a neuroscience background—an uncommon dual perspective that informs his cross-disciplinary leadership.
