Seb Hausmann, PhD

Neuroengineer & Full-Stack Developer

Welcome to my portfolio! I'm a full-stack developer and Engineer from EPFL with a PhD in neuroscience. My background spans experimental research with both human subjects and mice, where I developed VR systems for behavioral studies, worked with optogenetics and neural recordings, and analyzed large-scale datasets. Now I specialize in end-to-end application development for web and iOS platforms, building complete solutions from frontend interfaces to backend infrastructure, and integrating AI workflows and automation to create intelligent, efficient systems.

My development work focuses on:
- Full-stack web applications: TypeScript, React, Node.js, modern frameworks
- iOS mobile development: React Native, Expo, Xcode
- AI integration & automation: Implementing AI workflows, LLM integration, and process automation
- End-to-end solutions: From concept to deployment, including database design, API development, and cloud infrastructure

This experimental neuroscience experience has fundamentally shaped how I approach software development. I bring a data-driven mindset, rigorous analytical thinking, and a deep understanding of complex system integration to every project, combining technical skills with scientific methodology.

As a side project, I developed a simple GUI based on PyQt to explore connectivity map based on various projection signals. Features responsive design, animations, and integration with Allen Brain Atlas' API allensdk.

Virtual Reality surrogate system for ArgusĀ® II Patients

Virtual Reality surrogate system for ArgusĀ® II Patients

Unity3D C# VR Medical Devices

As part of a software engineer research internship at Second Sight Medical Product, I worked on a virtual reality system for Argus II patients to help them navigate in a virtual environment. Enhancing their rehabilitation procedure. The system was developed using Unity and C#, bypassing their camera Unit. I also developed a VR simulation of what a patient sees using the Argus II system.

Is effort related to social dominance?

Is effort related to social dominance?

Neuroscience Behavior Research Data Analysis

As part of my Master's thesis, I investigated the relationship between effort and social dominance in hierarchical groups of mice. This work was part of a larger project on the neural mechanisms of social dominance (specifically, the connections from mPFC to LH) and was conducted in laboratory of Prof. Kay M. Tye at the Salk Institute in San Diego.

Does subjective feeling of re-experiencing past events relate to memory performance?

Does subjective feeling of re-experiencing past events relate to memory performance?

VR Neuroscience Memory Research

At the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience (LNCO) in Prof. Olaf Blanke's lab, together with Dr. Brechet, I investigated the relationship between the subjective feeling of re-experiencing past events and memory performance. In this project we worked with healthy human subjects and used virtual reality to manipulate the feeling of re-experiencing past events.
