I study representation learning for dynamical systems with applications to the life sciences, from the genetic to the behavioral levels.
Some major currents include the
unsupervised inference of governing
equations and
bifurcation prediction in cell cycle dynamics. Other recent
work has explored machine learning methods for
optimal control, particularly of
systems of coupled oscillators, which we have used to model the
cortical processes
underlying
higher visual cognition. Here is an overview of ongoing and former work:
