Daniel K. Wójcik Laboratory head Ph.D. 2000, D.Sc. 2008, Prof. 2015
Piotr Majka Assistant professor My research interests focus on processing and combining image data obtained from various imaging techniques across different spatial scales. This includes magnetic resonance imaging, photographies of stained sections, connectivity data etc. I am also interested in creating and distributing digital brain atlases.
Sylwia Bednarek Scientific Software Developer in project Neuron Cofund Micronet M.Sc. 2016 email: s.bednarek@nencki.gov.pl
Chaitanya Chintaluri Early Stage Researcher Ph.D. (Nencki) M.Sc. (Physics) B.E (Electrical and Electronics) email: c.chintaluri@nencki.gov.pl I am interested in understanding the propagation of electrical currents in a brain tissue. I use Finite Element methods and kernel methods to accomplish this.
Jakub M. Dzik (Kowalski) IT, PhD student; M.Sc. 2011 My background is computer science combined with basics of biology. As a part of my studies I analyse and model behavioral data of mice obtained from IntelliCage system. I also develop a software for online repositories of high-resolution brain tissue images of different modalities.
Michał Czerwiński Phd student M.Sc. in Neuroinformatics After studying neuroinformatics at Physics Department of Warsaw University, I moved from EEG analysis (B.Sc. thesis on neurofeedback) to LFP analysis at Nencki Institute.
Natalia Jermakow Research Assistant in Marmosete Connectome Project Ph.D. student , M.A. in Psychology 2015 email: n.jermakow@nencki.gov.pl
Jan Mąka Data Scientist M.Sc. in Neuroinformatics email: j.maka@nencki.gov.pl In parallel with my position at the Nencki Institute, I am PhD student at Faculty of Physics UW. The subject of my PhD project is “Analysis of interactions in complex biological systems”. More generally, I am interested in automation of gathering and analyzing the scientific data.
Marta Kowalska Phd student Applied Physics, M.Sc. 2015 email: m.kowalska@nencki.gov.pl I am interested in current sources density reconstruction in brain tissue. I test kCSD method with simulated data.
