I obtained my PhD in theoretical condensed matter physics from Louisiana State University in 2006. My thesis work consisted of analyzing the propagation of bistable fronts in confined geometries in soft matter systems such as liquid crystals and chemical reactors driven out of equilibrium. As a postdoctoral fellow with Werner Horsthemke at SMU, I was involved in the derivation of a transport equation describing the combined effects of reactions and anomalous sub- diffusion in the reaction controlled limit. The latter part of my stay at SMU was spent studying front propagation and Turing pattern formation in this system. My Current research interests at Mount Sinai focus broadly on using mathematical modeling to understand biological questions pertaining to neuronal function. Especially, at the single cell level, I use compartment models to study how neuronal function degrades with age as a result of changed morphology and ion channel distributions, and how one may alter these distributions to therapeutically restore neuronal function. In collaboration with other members of the lab, I am developing novel statistical tools that seek to extract spatial patterning of various spine types. As a future direction, I am interested in studying the effects of anomalous transport of ions through neuronal cables. |
