Biography

My research program develops applied and computational mathematical methods and data-driven models to study the brain, biological processes on complex networks and neuropathologies such as Alzheimer's disease. To accomplish this goal, my work combines theory from ordinary and partial differential equations with numerical analysis and high-performance computing, alongside new initiatives in data-driven inference and machine learning.
