About me...
I am a graduate student in the Physics Department at NYU.
I am interested in the properties of single neurons, (single and
multiple compartments). I am also interested in models of neuron
networks, (high dimensional networks and mean field models).
Before coming to NYU, I completed my undergraduate degree at Universidad de Buenos Aires.
I graduated with a degree in physics
science (Licenciatura = Master equivalent ).
As an undergraduate, I worked in the biology
department of the UBA with Prof. Daniel Tomsic (IFIBYME member),
learning techniques in
electrophysiology in crabs (chasmagnatus
granulatus).
I did my undergraduate thesis project with Prof. Gabriel Mindlin in a mean
field model for the song motor pathway in songbirds.
Current work
I am working in the
group of Prof. John Rinzel
in a model for Medial Superior Olive (MSO) neuron located in the
auditory brainstem. I am using single compartmental conductance
based models of a fast-spiking neuron making numerical
experiments in C and in XPP.
