David Rotermund received the pre-diploma degree in electrical engineering from the Hochschule Bremen (City University for Applied Science), in 1996, the diploma degree in physics (specialization in neuroscience and solid state physics) from the University of Bremen, in 2002, and the Ph.D. degree in extraction of information from the dynamical activities of neural networks, in 2007. He started his scientific career as a chemical technical assistant, in 1992. Among other neuroscience projects, he participated in several project in the field of neuro-prosthetics like the German-Israeli Joint Project “Models and Experiments towards Adaptive Control of Motor Prostheses” (METACOMP), the research focus Neurotechnology at the University of Bremen, and the Creative Unit “I-See: The Artificial Eye – Chronic Wireless Interface to the Visual Cortex.” In the BMBF project KALOMED, where the goal was to design a fully wireless recording system that can be implanted under the skull of an user, he worked as a project organizer and hardware/software/firmware designer as well as a data miner. He will be the Co-Organizer of the upcoming Era-Net Neuron (a joint Canadian / EU project) for the development of advanced techniques in the field of visual cortex prosthesis. Beside his research in the field of neuro-prosthetics, he is keenly interested in information processing using spiking neuronal networks.
