Research Interests
In my PhD project I am using mechanistic, biophysical models to study neurons and small neural networks of the retina. I am investigating how recent methods of Bayesian likelihood-free parameter inference can be used to estimate parameters of such models based on two-photon imaging recordings of neurons’ responses to light stimuli.
Using these biophysical models, I am simulating the electrical stimulation of retinal neurons with neuroprosthetic devices to find new strategies for selectively targeting cell types.
I am also studying the influence of numerical errors of ODE solvers on simulations of mechanistic neuron models.
