Eilif Muller

Eilif Benjamin Muller is the Section Manager of Cells & Circuits in the Simulation Neuroscience Division at EPFL's Blue Brain Project. Working under the direction of Prof. Henry Markram, he leads a team developing advanced simulations of neocortical tissue using the world's largest supercomputers. His research focuses on creating data-driven computational models of brain circuits, particularly the non-barrel primary somatosensory cortex of juvenile rats. He collaborates closely with leading neuroscientists including Prof. Felix Schürmann, Prof. Sean Hill, Prof. Idan Segev, and Prof. Javier DeFelipe to advance understanding of neocortical architecture, neuronal coding, and plasticity. His team's work contributes to developing realistic 3D models of cellular geometries and studying structure-function relationships in neural circuits. Through his leadership, the Blue Brain Project has made significant advances in creating detailed simulations that help understand the complex organization of brain tissue.
