## Dear visitor

### What I am working on:

My current research is axed on descriptions and analysis of neural networks from the point of view of dynamical systems. My goal is to develop numerical / theoretical tools that allow an efficient study of these systems in order to draw predictions to be tested in experiments.

More specifically, I am interested in the following fields (not in a particular order):

Applications in theoretical neurosciences
• Neural plasticity (synaptic...)
• Spiking neural networks
• Dendritic spikes
• Signal integration in dendritic spines / synapses
• Modelling of visual cortical areas and neural illusions
Dynamical Systems / Probability Theory
• Hyperbolic PDEs
• Nonlocal transport equations
• Pattern formation
• Jump processes / Point processes, stochastic dynamics
• Harris recurrence
• Delayed systems

### Events and Committees

• I organized the second ICMNS conference on mathematical neurosciences in June 2016. I am in the advisory board of the next editions.
• I am in the Editorial Board of the journal Mathematical Neurosciences and Applications
• I am in the Scientific committee of wavecomplexity
• I am responsible for projects of the (Human Brain Project) HBP SGA3 program
