Personal profile
Biography
I am a PhD researcher interested in (mainly recurrent) neural networks from a complex systems, neuroscience, and machine learning perspective. I am also interested in the mathematical modelling of the dynamics of synapses, neurons, and networks in their development, maturation, and computation.
