Hello, I am Mateo (he/him), a postdoc arriving from the lush and green lands of Colombia. My prior work focused on sound representation in the mammalian cortex, and currently I am jumping into the exciting world of Drosophila, with its infinite tools. I am particularly interested in how the Drosophila auditory network, apparently simple and non hierarchical, processes the complexity of sound, and how this information propagates through the network under distinct behavioral states.

In my free time I like reading sci-fi, climbing and practicing historical fencing. I literally defended my PhD thesis with a sword. There were no questions, I wonder why.
