How persistent emotional states are encoded in the brain

In the Anderson's lab I develop mathematical models based on experiments to explain how neural activity gives rise to persisted behaviors

How patterns emerge during development? 

Is differentiation a coordinated process during tissue maintenance? 

In the Sprinzak's lab I develop mathematical models and experimental tools to study aspects of Notch mediated patterning, an underlying mechanism for coordinating cells during tissue differentiation in development and homeostasis.
