The ETH board has appointed Klaas Enno Stephan (*1972), currently Associate Professor of Computational Neuroeconomics at the University of Zurich, as Full Professor of Translational Neuromodeling (joint professorship with the University of Zurich). His research focus is the transfer of control-engineering concepts onto brain modelling. On the basis of his internationally recognised expertise, he will channel his work in the direction of modelling functional pathologies of the brain. His joint professorship at the Medical Faculty of the University of Zurich and at the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering constitutes an ideal framework for the extension of cooperation with clinical partners in Zurich.

The new professorship is funded by a donation of 10 million francs to the ETH Foundation by René and Susanne Braginsky Foundation.
