Olivier Winter

Senior research software engineer
International Brain Laboratory

After more than a decade in an industry research position in geophysics, Olivier Winter has been using his skills and experience in applied sciences and numerical analysis at the International Brain Laboratory. His engineering background has been useful for delivering consistent results by a principled application of current methods in neurophysiology, such as spike sorting and video analysis.

After a receiving an M.Sc. at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris in 2005, Winter took on a position as a research geophysicist  for land acquisition at CGG and evolved in this company for 14 years until becoming a technical project manager. In 2018, he joined the International Brain Laboratory as a senior research software engineer based in Portugal.
