I am interested in how the model bias in biological neuronal networks realized through network architecture, neuronal nonlinearities, and their dynamics lead to more robust inference and faster learning. I use deep learning to approach these questions through theoretical analysis and system identification on large scale neuro-physiological and -anatomical data.

Lab members are shown in this color.
