The goal of this project is the development of algorithms, mathematical techniques, and software tools for problems in visual computing, based on concepts of mathematical approximation. Visual computing includes computational geometry, geometric modeling, image synthesis and animation, scientific visualization, image encoding and processing, and pattern recognition. By mathematical approx…
An important issue in Neuroscience is identifying classes of models used by the brain to compress information from stimuli. We address this issue by proposing new electroencephalographic (EEG) experiments designed to study how the brain encodes statistical regularities from stochastic sequences of stimuli and the development of new statistical tools for functional data analysis, with a ma…
I plan to investigate the question of metastability in stochastic models of biological neural networks through the rigorous characterization of statistical physics.During my PhD I have proven two results related to the asymptotic memorylessness of the time of extinction in a continuous-time model inspired by the original Galves-Löcherbach model. This memorylessness is the signature of met…

There are experimental evidences of self-organizing criticality in many natural systems, including certain regions of the human brain. The main objective of this project is the mathematical modeling of neuronal systems, such as the human cortex. We intend to study the dynamical properties of neuronal network models, focusing on the inuence of network topology and synaptic plasticity parti…
