Fibration symmetries reveal neuronal synchronizations in the C. elegans connectome

June 12, 2023

Poster Presentation, 9th Annual Brain Initiative, Bethesda, Maryland

This is a follow-up poster presentation to the 2022 one. Here we showcase the construction of our toolkit to reconstruct a “corrupt” graph into a fiber-symmetric version using integer linear programming, using the neural recorded data from C. elegans in an in-vitro environment as a constraint.

From symmetric building blocks to neural synchronization in the connectome

June 22, 2022

Poster Presentation, 8th Annual Brain Initiative, Online, Covid

In this poster I explored how a concept in graph theory, “fibration symmetries,” can potentially be present in a worm’s neural wiring and the implications of such symmetries for synchronization in neural dynamics, as demonstrated via simulations based on ordinary differential equations.

FIT Emerging Technology: Generative design for furniture design

March 01, 2019

Talk, Start of School Year Faculty Convocation, New York, NY

This talk centered on how my colleagues and I could implement generative design in the classroom. As a showcase example, it demonstrated how to develop a desk that could use less material and still be equally strong.

Simulations of Rare Isotope Beam Nuclear Reaction 38S+208Pb using Time-Dependent Hartree-Fock Theory.

October 12, 2015

Poster presentation, Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists, Seattle, WA

This poster presentation focused on the findings of running multiple parallel simulations of two colliding nuclei at different angular momentum configurations on a supercomputer. The objective was to determine the probability of fusion of these two nuclei depending on the conditions.
