My interests are in microscopic processes in biology and in the functioning of cellular networks. I develop theoretical and numerical methods to understand physiological processes and network dynamics from the viewpoint of physics (statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, stochastic processes, ...). I have mainly worked on various aspects of intracellular calcium dynamics, a central signaling network in cells. Other projects concern machine learning for pattern recognition in fluoresence imaging and dendritic growth.
