Research

I am interested in a number of topics in applied mathematics. Most of these concern applications of the theory of deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems to problems in neuroscience, systems biology and evolution. Here are a few projects that I am currently working on with my students

• Developing mathematical models of synthetic gene circuits.
• The origins and impact of correlated activity in neuronal networks.
• Inference and learning in changing environments.
• Model reduction techniques for large signaling networks.
• Decision making in dynamic environments and social networks.
