Constanze Albrecht

Constanze Albrecht is a PhD researcher and creative technologist working at the intersection of neuroscience, artificial intelligence (AI) and human–computer interaction (HCI).  She holds an MSc in Neuro-informatics from ETH/UZH Zurich and dual bachelor’s degrees in Engineering Science and Psychology from TUM and LMU.

Her interests include neural recommendation systems that combine neural activity, behavioral context, and AI representations to better understand individual intentions and personalize interactions with technology. More broadly, she is interested in the symbiosis between neuroscience and AI: using AI to understand neural computation and drawing on biological intelligence to develop more adaptive artificial systems, while exploring how closer human–AI integration can support human agency and well-being.

Constanze’s neuroengineering experience includes a research internship at Neuralink, investigating intracranial vasculature changes for stroke prediction with Prof. Ali Ertürk (Best Poster Award, Cambridge Symposium), and mapping visual cortex circuitry through single-neuron labeling at ETH Zurich’s Neurotechnology Lab. In HCI, she explored the effects of brain stimulation on visual search performance at LMU and later worked on 3D object reconstruction from EEG data and multimodal detection of physiological markers for reasoning and conflict at MIT’s Fluid Interfaces group. 

Alongside her technical research, she has contributed to policy initiatives on the responsible development of AI and neurotechnology, with her work featured by the European Commission, UNESCO, and Stanford Law School.
