Çağatay Aydın is a senior scientist at the Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF). He received his bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering from Işık University and his master's degree in biomedical engineering from Boğaziçi University. He completed his doctorate in cognitive and molecular neuroscience track at KU Leuven University in Belgium in 2019. His main areas of interest are designing and developing next-generation neural implants and the interpretation of the complex data obtained using artificial intelligence in the context of understanding the impact of fundamental neuronal networks on our behavior. Recently, with an international consortium, he developed high-resolution neural implants and produced new prostheses that will enable high-resolution data collection on test animals for months. These studies have been published in prestigious journals such as Nature and Science. In addition, last year, he was selected as Belgium's most promising young scientist, together with a Turkish colleague. His ultimate aim is to implement personalized brain therapies with the devices he develops in the future.
