Kampff Adam R

Adam Kampff studied astrophysics at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. He spent many hours at the observatory where he worked the overnight shift at a radio telescope and thought about the brain. Adam stayed at Harvard for his PhD in neuroscience, during which he investigated neural circuits that control visual behavior. After graduating in 2009 and receiving a postdoctoral fellowship from Harvard's Mind, Brain and Behavior program, Adam began studying how the brain controls and learns motor behaviors. In 2011, Adam moved to Lisbon, Portugal to start his own laboratory at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown. The goal of his research lab is to understand how a nervous system constructs a model of the world: How do brains learn about their environment? How is this information encoded in networks and used to control intelligent behavior? In 2015, Adam will move his lab to the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre in London.
