**Emre Neftci** received a M.Sc. degree in physics from Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland, and a Ph.D. degree from the Institute of Neuroinformatics, University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, in 2010. Before joining FZJ he was Assistant Professor with the Department of Cognitive Sciences and Computer Science, University of California at Irvine. He was a post-doctoral fellow at the Insitute of Neural Computation (INC), UCSD investigating models for probabilistic state-dependent sensorimotor processing in large-scale multi-neuron systems. In his current research he explores the bridges between neuroscience and machine learning, with a focus on the theoretical and computational modeling of learning algorithms that are best suited to neuromorphic hardware and non-von Neumann computing architectures.
