My research relies on mathematical modeling of nonlinear behaviors in biological systems across different scales, from ecology to neuroscience, and the interaction between mechanistic models and empirical data. My main research activity spanned three categories:
Modeling of population dynamics using dynamical systems and PDEs
Parameter estimation for mechanistic models
Data-driven methods for modeling and control
