Professor Benjamin Grewe is a renowned neuroscientist and AI researcher whose work has led to groundbreaking insights at the interface of biological and artificial intelligence.

Benjamin Grewe joined the Institute of Neuroinformatics at ETH Zurich in October 2016 and has since been at the forefront of research in the field.

Growing up in Schleswig-Holstein, Benjamin Grewe developed a fascination for physics that led him to pursue his studies in this field at the Universities of Kiel and Heidelberg. But it was during his doctoral studies at ETH Zurich that he discovered his true passion for researching neural networks and the brain. There he developed new methods for analyzing and measuring neuronal signals in the brain, which proved to be a major breakthrough in the field.

In 2011, he took his research to the next level by moving to Stanford University, where he deepened his understanding of how neural networks in the brain learn and store memories. His time at Stanford was a transformative experience and laid the foundation for the ambitious research in artificial network systems that he would lead upon his return to ETH Zurich.
