  • PROFILE

    Jordi Soriano is an Associate Professor at the University of Barcelona, where he leads an experimental group that investigates open questions in neuroscience, and using physical and mathematical modeling toolboxes (Universitat de Barcelona Institute of Complex Systems-UBICS).

    Before that, he was a Ramón-y-Cajal researcher at the University of Barcelona for 5 years, to establish an experimental group in neuroscience.

    Soriano studied Physics at the University of Barcelona (UB). During a brief period, he worked as an editor of scientific textbooks for the Open University of Catalonia was followed by his PhD in Physics at the ECM Department, Faculty of Physics, UB. He then moved to Bayreuth, Germany, for a postdoc in biophysics in the group of Prof. Albrecht Ott. He did a second postdoc in neuroscience in the group of Prof. Elisha Moses at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, developing new experimental techniques to study connectivity in living neuronal networks.
