Manuel Schottdorf received his PhD in Göttingen, Germany, in 2018 for his work on sensory representations in the early visual system. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University where he studies neuronal representations of abstract and spatial knowledge in mice, navigating in virtual reality. His long-term career goal is to contribute to a principled and quantitative understanding of the neuronal basis of cognition.
