Faculty associated with: Robert Clewley Keywords: Computational Neuroscience (13), Mathematical Modeling (14), Motor Systems (13), Mouse (11), Neuromodulation (12) My research is a blend of theoretical investigation, development of computer methods and studies of nonlinear systems that arise in diverse fields of science and engineering. My current work focuses upon the dynamics of systems with multiple time scales, algorithm development for problems involving periodic orbits and upon applications to the neurosciences, animal locomotion and control of nonlinear systems. I have a long standing collaboration with Ron Harris-Warrick and his laboratory. A new joint project is devoted to the development and anlysis of mathematical models for networks in the mouse spinal cord that control hindlimb locomotion. I am also part of a multi-university reserach program that is studying cockroach locomotion and its neuromuscular control. |
Post-Doc associated with: John Guckenheimer, Francisco J Valero-Cuevas Keywords: Computational Neuroscience (13), Hippocampus (11), Learning and Memory (13), Mathematical Modeling (14), Motor Systems (13), Sensorimotor Systems (11), Systems Neuroscience (25) Mathematical and computational tools for development and analysis of dynamical models for integrated neural / motor systems. We represent physiological systems using Dynamical Systems Theory. We use Hodgkin-Huxley-type membrane equations for neurons, and standard rigid body dynamics for the mechanics of locomotion. Applications at Cornell include feedback control of finger movement (with Francisco Valero-Cuevas), and insect locomotion (with John Guckenheimer). |
