About Me

Spiros Chavlis received his diploma degree (equivalent to M.Eng.) in Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece, in 2011, his M.Sc. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Imperial College London, London, U.K., in 2013, and his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Crete, Heraklion, Greece, in 2018. During his doctoral studies, he developed a computational model of the hippocampal dentate gyrus examining the role of dendrites in the pattern separation mnemonic process. He is a Postdoctoral Researcher in computational neuroscience with the Poirazi Lab, IMBB-FORTH. He is interested in unraveling the underlying mechanisms of memory formation and learning using computational models of the hippocampal subregions and incorporating them in bio-inspired deep learning architectures.
