Aran Dabbaghchi
Postgraduate Researcher
Environmental Mathematics Group
Currently, I'm a Ph.D. student at University of Exeter-Centre for Environmental Mathematics, and I am actively working on "Modeling & Control of Human Brain Disorders"under the supervison of Professor Stuart Townley and Professor Abraham Kuijper. In this research, the aim is to study various synchronization patterns within brain neural networks in order to identify different aspects of neural disorders, specifically Parkinson's disease. The theoretical approach consists of mathematical and computational techniques mainly based on the Kuramoto model which is a paradigmatic model representing the oscillatory behaviour of neurons.
Formerly, I was a master's student of applied mathematics (dynamical systems and differential equations) at the University of Tehran. My master's thesis is entitled ''Dynamics of Reaction-Diffusion in Neural Models'' where I investigated the oscillation incidence within a single neuron model known as FitzHugh-Nagumo generalized in PDE form.
