## Dear visitor

### What I am working on:

I am a researcher at INRIA (Sophia Antipolis), in the team MathNeuro. Before this, I was a postdoctoral associate at the Computational Neurobiology Laboratory of the Salk Institute (San Diego, CA) directed by Terrence Sejnowski, working on models of neuronal populations relevant for Schizophrenia and the primary visual area V1.

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

#### - Conferences ICMNS

I organized the second ICMNS conference on mathematical neurosciences in June 2016. I am in the advisory board of the next editions.
