Bio
Ali is a postdoctoral fellow, working in the fields of stimulation-induced modulation of structural plasticity, propagation of desynchronizing effects, and control of stimulation with machine learning. Trained as a theoretical and computational physicist, Ali has expertise in the fields of computational neuroscience, nonlinear dynamics, stochastic processes, and network sciences. For his PhD in Physics, Ali worked with Prof. Alexander Neiman at Ohio University, where he studied the collective dynamics of excitable tree networks, which is relevant to some sensory neurons such as gentle touch receptors, muscle spindles, and some electroreceptors. Ali's goal is to use his skills to develop brain stimulation techniques for the treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
