Research Interests
My research interests focus on modelling stochastic processes with methods from statistical physics and Bayesian inference, in particular in the context of cell proliferation and neuronal signals.
Guiding questions of my research include: What influences the cell division times? How can drug deliveries make use of the different stochastic dynamics of cell proliferation. But also: How do cell signals in the brain create collective behaviour?
