Jörn Rickert

Jörn Rickert studied biology in Hamburg and Freiburg. In his doctoral thesis on the representation of movement in the motor cortex, he contributed to the basic neurobiological research. During this time the idea to take the scientific work as a bridge to this application and to start a business was born. After completing his doctorate in 2004, he took over as project manager of the Freiburg Brain Machine Interfacing Initiative (BMII) the task of transferring the research results, this scientist-grouping into a marketable product. Since the founding of CorTec in September 2010, he is CEO of the company.
