Research Interests (more)
Mathematical modeling and scientific computing for scientific problems in physical and biological sciences
In particular, I’m interested in understanding of the relation between structure and functions of biological neuronal networks, development of new efficient computational methods for modeling large-scale cortical networks, discovery of potential mechanisms underlying information processing in the brain, and investigation of new mathematical structures and tools to extract useful information from data measured in experiment.
