CV
Hanspeter Mallot received his PhD from the Faculty of Biology, University of Mainz, Germany, in 1986. In the following years, he held postdoctoral and research positions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Ruhr-University Bochum, the Max-Planck-Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen and the Institute for Advanced Study, Berlin. In 2000, he was appointed Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Eberhard Karls University, Tübingen. Research focusses on spatial cognition in humans and robots, using behavioral experiments in virtual reality, eye-movement recordings, and simulated agents in hard- and software.
He is a member of the editorial board of the journal "Spatial Cognition and Computation" and of the "Neurowissenschaftliche Gesellschaft" (NWG). In the past, he served as president of the European Neural Network Society (ENNS), as president of the German Society for Cognitive Science (GK), and as a member of the Neuroscience review panel of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
