Renaud Jolivet is a Swiss physicist and neuroscientist. He is Chair of Neural Engineering and Computation at the Maastricht Centre for Systems Biology (MaCSBio) at Maastricht University, and retains an affiliation with CERN. He serves as the Chair of the Science and Technology Committee of EBRAINS, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Organization for Computational Neurosciences. In 2023, he is a Neurotech Fellow of the Foresight Institute.

Early life and education

edit

Jolivet grew up in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland, and studied at the Gymnase d'Yverdon. He then studied physics at the University of Lausanne, before joining Wulfram Gerstner at EPFL for his doctorate, working on fitting neuron models to electrophysiology data [1][2].
