I'm broadly interested in the interface between physics and biology, and I'm particularly interested in applying the mathematical language of physics to models of biological systems that have wide predictive validity and illuminating properties. I am currently exploring how the biological systems that transduce sound change in response to spike trains received from the brain using nonlinear dynamical systems theory.
