I am an applied mathematician working in neurosciences. I recently joined Gustavo Deco's group of computational neuroscience at UPF to study and develop biomarkers for patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC). I will combine full brain models and machine learning techniques to propose novel markers aiming to capture the heterogeneity of the DOC patients, in order to help diagnosis.
During my PhD, I focused on the study of bursting dynamics driven by short-term synaptic plasticity in neuronal networks. I developed and analyzed mathematical models in the form of nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems. I studied the influence of astrocytes on neuronal activation patterns as well as the emergence of oscillatory rhythms in the brain (as observed in EEG during general anesthesia).

I have expertise in data and image processing, mathematical modeling, stochastic calculus, asymptotic analysis, numerical simulations and machine learning.
