Daniel S. Margulies

Daniel S. Margulies is a CNRS Research Director and Principal Investigator at the Oxford University Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging, where he leads the Cognitive Neuroanatomy Lab. His research investigates the macroscale organisation of the human brain, with a particular focus on how large-scale connectivity supports diverse cognition functions.

Previously, he led the Research Group for Neuroanatomy & Connectivity at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig. He has received several awards, including the Otto Hahn Medal from the Max Planck Society and the Young Investigator Award from the Organization for Human Brain Mapping.

At the MFO, he collaborates with colleagues across Oxford to develop seminars and workshops at the interface of neuroscience and the humanities, and to advance open, reproducible practices in brain mapping.
