Frederic Alexander Roemschied
I'm a PhD scholar of the Research Training Group “Sensory Computation in Nervous Systems” at the BCCN Berlin. I investigate how small poikilothermic nervous systems can compensate for temperature effects on neuronal function. I work with conductance based neuron models and data from electrophysiological recordings.
