Pawel Herman is an associate professor of Computational Neuroscience and Neuroinformatics in the Division of Computational Science and Technology at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He earned his PhD degree in Intelligent Systems/Brain-Computer Interfacing from the University of Ulster, UK in 2009. He continued his research as a postdoc at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, the Netherlands, and Stockholm Brain Institute.
His research lies at crossroads between brain science and computer science. The current focus of his lab is two-fold: first, on computational modelling of brain’s cognitive function with memory in the limelight and, second, on developing a neuro-computational framework for brain-like machine intelligence. The main research methods used in the Herman lab are large-scale spiking as well as rate based neural network models, and advanced multivariate techniques for analysis of multimodal brain data recorded from human subjects and animals.
