I am an expert in computational neuroscience, computer science, machine learning, and neuromorphic computing, focusing specifically on neural computations critical for spatial navigation and perception. My interests are in asynchronous and distributed systems, particularly in uncovering and extracting their core algorithms and data structures based on first principles.
My research aims to understand how non-linear dynamics can foster stable computations, and to advance the mathematical understanding of how diverse systems -- from brain regions to computing networks -- manage information. To this end, I analyze neural population dynamics, emergent phenomena, self-organization, plasticity, and collective behaviors using a variety of tools from computer science, machine learning, data science, mathematics, and statistics.
Currently, my research explores neural representations and behaviors of rodents and aquatic animals, as well as the emergence of computational complexity and spatio-temporal languages in evolutionary distributed systems. I have also successfully applied my knowledge to practical robotics, leading the development of a perception framework for manipulation robotics. My scientific and industrial contributions are documented in academic publications and patents. In addition to my research, I teach, co-organize summer schools, and have initiated a progressive mentoring program that introduces reverse mentoring to executive leadership. My technical proficiencies extend to distributed high-performance computing, GPGPU programming, database systems, and computer graphics, each significantly contributing to both the theoretical and practical aspects of my work.I am a postdoc in Benjamin Dunn's (Neural) Data Science group at the Department of Mathematical Sciences in beautiful Trondheim, Norway, and also work with Yasser Roudi from King's College, London. Before, I spent almost three years as research scientist at the Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence, and obtained a PhD in Computer Science in Neural and Neuromorphic Computing while working in the Neuroscientific System Theory (NST) group at TU Munich, Germany.
