Christoph von der Malsburg

Christoph von der Malsburg (born May 8, 1942 in Kassel ) is a German physicist, neurobiologist and university professor.

Life

Christoph von der Malsburg began to study physics at the Georg-August University in Göttingen . On July 21, 1962 he was reciprocated in the Corps Saxonia Göttingen . As an inactive , he moved to the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and the Ruprecht Karls University in Heidelberg . In Heidelberg he wrote his doctoral thesis on a topic of particle physics . In 1970 he was promoted to Dr. rer. nat. PhD. He went to the neurobiology of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen. The University of Southern California in Los Angeles appointed him in 1987 as professor of neuroscience , computer science , physics and psychology . In 1990 he founded the Institute for Neuroinformatics at the Ruhr University in Bochum with Werner von Seelen . In 2007 he left both institutions and is currently doing research as a Senior Fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies .

His research interests are pattern recognition in the brain, dynamic binding of neural units (connectivity), neural networks and computer vision . His early work on the theory of the self-organization of ordered fiber connections in the visual system made him a pioneer in this field. He is also known for his criticism of the neural network theory that it suffers from the attachment problem. To solve this, he formulated the Dynamic Link Architecture, a system of fast-switching network fragments. B. in a facial recognition system .

Christoph von der Malsburg was involved in the founding of two companies and has received numerous awards (Pioneer Award 1994 from the Neural Network Council of the IEEE, Karl Heinz Beckurts Foundation Award 1998, Koerber Award for European Science 2000, Hebb Award 2003 of the International Neural Network Society). He was President of the European Neural Network Society in 1995/96 and is a Fellow of the International Neural Network Society as well as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Human Brain Project . and Founding Board Member as well as Head of the Neuroscience Board of the Mindfire Foundation He was a member of the jury of the German KI Prize 2019 of the business magazine Bilanz from Axel Springer SE . Hartmut Neven is one of his PhD students . He has been married to Astrid born in 2010. from Salmuth.
