I’m Niko, a medical doctor turned neuroscientist and image analyst. Since October 2022, I work as a Research Software Engineer at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre and Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit.

I completed my PhD at the Functional Imaging Lab of the German Primate Center, where I studied the effects of anesthesia on brain function using neuroimaging techniques, including functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and in vivo 2‐photon calcium imaging.

I care about promoting open, collaborative, and reproducible science. In my free time, you will find me dancing to swing music and trying to play the saxophone.
