Oren Forkosh

principal investigator

I did my undergraduate in physics and mathematics at the Hebrew University and later moved to the Weizmann Institute, for my masters, to study computer science and do lots of machine learning. I continued at the Weizmann Institute for my PhD in neuroscience and focused on social behaviour. Later, I did my postdoc at the Max-Planck Institute for Ornithology and the Max-Planck Institute for Psychiatry.
