Julien Vitay is a senior researcher and lecturer at the TU Chemnitz, in the lab of Artificial Intelligence of the Faculty of Computer Science.
He was previously postdoc in the Psychology Department of the University of Münster (Germany), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Fred Hamker and a PhD student at Inria Nancy (France), in the Cortex lab headed by Dr. Frédéric Alexandre.
His research interests focus on computational neuroscience (basal ganglia, hippocampus, dopaminergic system) and neuro-informatics (neuro-simulator ANNarchy). He is also interested in machine learning, especially the recent advances in deep reinforcement learning and its potential contribution to robotics.

ANNarchy (Artificial Neural Networks architect) is a neuro-simulator for rate-coded or spiking neural networks. The core of the library is written in C++ and distributed using openMP or CUDA. It provides an interface in Python for the definition of the networks.
