Tim Kietzmann is professor of machine learning at the Institute of Cognitive Science at Osnabrück University. He works in the area of NeuroAI, the joint study of biological and artificial intelligence. In particular, he focuses on visual information processing in man and machine, applying machine-learning techniques for modeling and analyzing high-dimensional neural data, and using neuroscientific insights to render machine vision more robust.
After earning his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in cognitive science, Kietzmann completed his Ph.D. under the joint supervision of Peter König (Osnabrück University) and Frank Tong (Vanderbilt University). He then moved to the University of Cambridge, where he worked with Nikolaus Kriegeskorte. Afterward, he was a tenured faculty member in the AI department at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour at Radboud University before joining the faculty at Osnabrück University.
