Claudia Clopath is professor of computational neuroscience at Imperial College London, where she heads the Computational Neuroscience Laboratory.
Her research interests are in the field of neuroscience, especially insofar as it addresses the questions of learning and memory. She uses mathematical and computational tools to model synaptic plasticity and to study its functional implications in artificial neural networks.
Clopath holds an M.Sc. in physics and a Ph.D. in computer science from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, where she studied under Wulfram Gerstner. Before joining Imperial College London, she did postdoctoral fellowships in neuroscience with Nicolas Brunel at Paris Descartes University and in the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University.
