Marius Schneider is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies. He completed his doctoral research in Systems Neuroscience at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt, in affiliation with the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Neural Circuits at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research. Marius defended his PhD with highest honors at Radboud University Nijmegen in May 2024.

Marius’s research aims to uncover how the brain achieves flexible information processing. He focuses on understanding how different cell types and brain regions integrate sensory information to drive behavior. To address these questions, he combines detailed biophysical modeling and state-of-the-art machine learning techniques with large-scale, multi-areal electrophysiological recordings.

Outside the lab, Marius enjoys running, working out at the gym, spending time at the beach, traveling, and listening to music.
