Research Interests

My research is in the area of nonlinear dynamical systems with focuses on theory on dynamics of networks of differential equations and its applications. Currently, I work on

• Theory of coupled cell systems
• Dynamics of network motifs
• Dynamics of generalized rivalry network
• Grid formation in mammalian spatial navigation systems
• NF-kB signaling pathway
