About
Louise Genoud is a leading researcher in computational neuroscience and biomechanics, whose work bridges the gap between neural circuits and physical movement. Her primary research areas include sensorimotor control, neuromechanical modeling, and insect-inspired robotics. Genoud is best known as the lead developer of **NeuroMechFly v2**, a groundbreaking simulation platform that models the complete sensorimotor loop of the adult fruit fly, *Drosophila melanogaster*. This tool integrates realistic biomechanics, proprioception, and visual feedback to simulate how neural activity drives complex behaviors like walking, grooming, and escape responses. Her work has been cited over 39 times in just two years, reflecting its rapid impact on the field. Notably, NeuroMechFly v2 extends beyond motor control to include sensory processing, enabling researchers to test hypotheses about neural computation in a physically grounded virtual fly. Genoud’s contributions are pivotal for understanding the neural basis of behavior and for advancing bio-inspired robotics. Her open-source models empower scientists worldwide to explore how brains control bodies in real time, making her a key figure in modern computational ethology.
