Scholarship and Biography

My research interests include dynamical systems, mathematical and computational neuroscience, multiple timescale dynamics, network dynamics and homeostasis. I am particularly interested in modeling and analyzing intrinsic neural dynamics in central pattern generators, brain rhythms associated with cognition, and sensory feedback control in complex adaptive biological systems, using geometric singular perturbation theory, bifurcation analysis, mathematical modeling and numerical simulations. In addition, I also explore the role that network structure plays in determining what dynamics are possible within a system.
