Christiane Linster is a Luxembourg-born behavioral neuroscientist and a professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University.〔(Cornell Faculty ), Christiane Linster.〕 Linster's work focuses on neuromodulation along with learning and memory using the olfactory system of rodents as a model. Her lab integrates behavioral, electrophysiological, and computational work. Linster was the founding President of the Organization for Computational Neurosciences (OCNS), which was created to coordinate and lead the annual meeting of aspiring and senior computational neuroscientists. Linster served as president of the OCNS from 2003 until 2005 when she was replaced by her successor Ranu Jung.〔(Ranu Jung's Florida International University Faculty Profile ), Second President of OCNS.〕〔(OCNS ), Founders: Christiane Linster, Erik De Schutter, Linda Larson-Prior, Phil Ulinski, Todd Troyer.〕 As of 2015, Linster runs the Computational Neurophysiology Lab in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University and also teaches a class on Systems and Computational Neuroscience as well as an introductory course in Computational Neuroscience. Linster is completely fluent in English, French, and German (as well as Luxembourgish), which broadened her horizons for her professional career.〔 Linster married Thomas A. "Thom" Cleland, Associate Professor of Psychology at Cornell University,〔(Thomas Cleland ). Associate Professor of Psychology at Cornell University〕 on October 3, 1998. They have two daughters named Linsey and Haley Cleland and live in the small village of Freeville, New York.〔(Linster's Personal Page ), See "My Family".〕 Linster and Cleland share a common interest in the olfactory system and as a result publish many articles together covering everything from the importance of computation and predictive models in olfaction to their findings related to memory and behavior based on cholinergic neuromodulation in the olfactory bulb.〔Cleland, Thomas A., and Christiane Linster.

Retrieved 19 November 2015〕 ==Education and teaching experience== Christiane Linster was born in Luxembourg in 1962 where she remained for her childhood. In 1982 she studied clarinet at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz in Austria.〔(University of Music and Performing Arts Graz ), University Homepage.〕 Linster graduated in 1987 with a Certificate in Classical Clarinet and Conducting and published her senior thesis entitled "Get Rhythm: A Musical Application for Neural Networks".〔(Christiane Linster's Resume ), Cornell University.〕〔Linster, Christiane. ("Get rhythm: A musical application for neural networks" ). Gesellschaft für Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung mbH, 1989. Retrieved 18 November 2015〕 Linster was also attending Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), where she earned her Diplom Ingenieur for her studies in Electrical Engineering from 1982 through 1989. The "Diplom Ingenieur" is generally considered Germany and Austria's equivalent to a master's degree.〔Different Engineering Degrees, See "Germany and Austria".〕 In 1989, Linster accepted a position as a research fellow in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Graz University of Technology. While she was conducting research at TU Graz (1989-1990), Linster also assisted in the instruction of an optical communications lab and a course-lab combination in Neural Networks.〔 From 1990 until 1993, Linster studied as a graduate student and worked as a teaching fellow in the Electronics Lab at ESPCI in Paris, France. During this same timeframe, Linster worked towards her PhD at Pierre and Marie Curie University, which is also located in Paris. She graduated from Pierre and Marie Curie University with a PhD in applied physics in 1993 and was named Assistant Professor of the ESPCI Electronics Laboratory in the same year. Linster only held the associate professor position in the ESPCI Electronics Lab for one year before moving to the United States to assume a post-doctoral research position with Michael Hasselmo at Harvard University.〔 From 1998 until 2000, Linster lectured for the Department of Psychology at Harvard University before becoming an Assistant Professor and eventually a Professor of the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University where she remains today.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christiane Linster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
