Biography

Vogels studied theoretical physics at the Technical University of Berlin and neuroscience under Larry Abbott and Eve Marder at Brandeis University through the Fulbright Program. After a postdoctoral stay as a Patterson Brain Trust Fellow with Rafael Yuste at Columbia University, he became a Marie Curie Reintegration Fellow in the laboratory of Wulfram Gerstner at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). In 2013, he moved to Oxford University.

Since 2017, Vogels has been a key coordinator of the IBRO-Simons Computational Neuroscience Imbizo.[3]
