Postdoctoral Researcher in
Computational Neuroscience
Welcome! I am a postdoc in Alex Roxin's group at the Centre de Recerca Matematica in Bellaterra (Barcelona).

I am interested in understanding how brain network topology influences the emergent macroscopic dynamics. To this end, I develop and analyse mathematical models based on neural fields or coupled oscillators to understand how a specific network topology shapes the emergent dynamics. My research has numerous applications, ranging from information processing and short-term memory to neural disorders such as epilepsy and neurodegenerative diseases.
