Dr. Holger Krapp

Biography

Holger G Krapp obtained a Diploma in Biology with a focus on Neurobiology from the University of Tübingen, Germany, in 1992. In 1995, he was awarded a Dr. rer. nat. (PhD) degree for his studies on neuronal mechanisms of optic flow processing at the Max-Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, Germany. Following his doctorate, he held a postdoctoral position where he continued to explore the theoretical aspects of the neuronal basis for self-motion estimation. In 1996, he became a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, USA, where he researched the biophysical mechanisms of neuronal multiplication within the context of visually guided behavior. In 1997, Krapp spent several years as a research fellow at Bielefeld University, Germany, where he focused on adaptations in optic flow processing within the visual system. In 2000, he commenced a position as a temporary lecturer in Sensory Neuroscience in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge, UK, investigating the fundamental principles underlying sensory control of behavior. In October 2005, he was appointed as a senior lecturer in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London. His research contributions can be found on Google Scholar.
