Soledad Gonzalo Cogno
Associate Professor
soledad.g.cogno@ntnu.no
I studied Physics at Balseiro Institute (Argentina). I did a PhD in Computational Neuroscience at the same institution. In 2017 I moved to Norway to do a postdoc in the lab led by May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser. During my postdoc I leveraged my quantitative background to perform analyses of large-scale recordings. I also performed electrophysiological recordings. In 2024 I opened my lab at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience.
In addition to neuroscience, I love traveling, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.
Julien Ballbe
Postdoc
I graduated from SupBiotech, a biotechnology engineering school in Paris. Next, I pursued a master in Computational Neurosciences and Neuroengineering from the university Paris Saclay and a PhD at the University Paris Cité. I’m interested in understanding the link between heterogeneity of cell types and network dynamics. In my free time, I enjoy taking my dogs for a walk, running and practicing photography.
Lea Marie Braun
PhD student
I have a background in Mathematics from the University of Cologne and a Master in Neuroscience from NTNU. I am fascinated by the application of data analysis methods to calcium imaging and Neuropixels data with regard to ultraslow oscillations and sequences.
In my spare time, I enjoy running and hiking in the beautiful nature around Trondheim.
Mathias Karsrud Nordal
PhD student
I hold a Master’s degree in Industrial Mathematics from NTNU. I am fascinated by the use of topology-inspired approaches to explore neural population dynamics. In my free time, I enjoy working out, hiking, traveling, and learning new and exciting mathematics.
Neneva Hanssen Rambø
Research Assistant
I have a background in Psychology and Computer Science, and I hold a Master’s degree in Neuroscience from NTNU. I am fascinated by how neural processes can be modeled and understood computationally. I build computational models to investigate how connectivity shapes network dynamics in heterogeneous circuits. Outside of studying, I enjoy dancing, concerts, and reading fiction.
Sergio Zucchi Mesía
PhD student
I have a background in Physics, and I hold a Master’s degree on Physics of Complex Systems from IFISC (Spain), in which I became fascinated by the complexity of neural processes and the emergence of behavior in the brain. I’m interested in understanding how a heterogeneity of neurons and structure shapes population dynamics and gives rise to diverse functionality within a network. In my spare time I enjoy bouldering, hiking, going on nature walks and baking bread.
