Roman Boehringer

Bio

I am Lab Manager and Scientific Coordinator in the team of Benjamin Grewe at the Institute for Neuroinformatics (ETH Zürich), working at the intersection of systems neuroscience and machine learning. My research focuses on how the brain forms and uses internal representations of the outside world to guide behavior, with a particular interest in interactions between the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus. In parallel, I lead translational efforts on inclusive speech technology, developing personalized, uncertainty-aware automatic speech recognition for children and adults with impaired speech. My work spans dataset development (including German-language, clinically evaluated data), Bayesian adaptation methods, and user-in-the-loop learning to improve accessibility and real-world impact.
