I study how biological processes change over time using a mix of math, statistics, and machine learning to analyze complex biological data from multiple sources. While this type of analysis is useful in many areas of life sciences, my main focus is on understanding the 24-hour cycles in human (and mammalian) biology known as circadian rhythms. These natural daily rhythms are crucial for our health, and are disrupted in various diseases.
In my work, I
- develop mathematical caricatures of the biological system to produce insights and direct experiments
- produce new understanding applying data science on large biological & medical data
- design new approachs to measure these rhythms in humans for biological, medical and public health applications
Interests
- biological dynamics
- chronobiology (rhythms)
- signal processing and machine learning (data science)
- mathematical modeling and systems biology
