After a PhD in cognitive neuroscience on the relationship between oscillatory fluctuations of brain signals and time perception directed by the Pr Andreas Kleinschmidt, MD, PhD, I investigated the neural correlates of Mental Time Travel, the human ability to mentally go back in the past and plan the future, in the Brain Dynamics Team, Headed by Virginie van Wassenhove, PhD, in the Neurospin Center hosted by the CEA.I am currently post-doctoral researcher and investigating autobiographical memory in the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience (LNCO), at Campus Biotech in Geneva, headed by the Pr Olaf Blanke, MD, PhD.
Miguel Fernández RuizMiguel Fernández Ruiz was born in Spain in 1977. He obtained his diploma in Civil Engineering from the Polytechnical University of Madrid (Spain) in 2001 and was awarded that year as best student in Civil Engineering in Spain. He later performed his doctoral studies in the same University, and obtained his PhD (cum laude) in 2003. At the same time he performed his doctoral studies, he also developed a part-time (75%) career in the industry as consultant engineer specialized in composite structures.
In 2004 he joined the team of Prof. Aurelio Muttoni at EPFL as post-doctoral fellow, where he was later promoted as scientist and lecturer. In 2014 he is promoted as Senior Scientist at EPFL. Currently, he works part-time (70%) at EPFL, developing also a professional career as partner of a consulting firm specialized in structural design.
