Raees is a PhD student jointly workin in the C3N group (https://liebelab.github.io/) and the Mackelab (https://www.mackelab.org/) at the University of Tübingen. He is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network - CherISH  (https://cherish-network.eu/) where his research focuses on developing neural network models to investigate spatial hearing in cochlear implant users. He studied computational neuroscience at IISc Bangalore and worked briefly as a machine learning engineer. His research interests lie at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning, with a focus on using deep neural networks to investigate higher-level brain functions, particularly those underlying spatial hearing.
