Dynamical systems modelling across scales, from molecular mechanisms to cortex-wide cognition and computational psychiatry.

About

I develop dynamical system models to investigate the circuit mechanisms that support cognition across species and levels of brain organisation, from molecules to large-scale networks. Within this framework, I aim to link circuit disruptions with altered cortical activity in psychiatric disorders and their symptoms, currently focusing on working memory deficits and auditory-verbal hallucinations in schizophrenia.

My work integrates neuroanatomical data, biologically grounded modeling, and quantitative analysis, drawing on an interdisciplinary background spanning psychology, cognitive science, and neuroimaging. I have collaborated and presented my research internationally.

Current projects

Schizophrenia & working memory

Biologically grounded models linking circuit disruption to altered cortical dynamics and working-memory deficits.

Auditory-verbal hallucinations

Mechanistic modelling of circuit and network changes that may support hallucination-related dynamics.

Cross-species neuromodulation
