Monteith 104

The first “Math in the (Neuro)Sciences Workshop” at UConn is a joint event organized by Dr. Scott Rich of the Department of Physiology and Neurobiology and the Mathematical Sciences Research Collaboratory (MSRC). The mission of the workshop is twofold: first, to introduce UConn students to the opportunities presented by applying mathematical principles to the life sciences, particularly neuroscience; second, to highlight the immense depth and breadth of research broadly falling under the discipline of “computational/mathematical neuroscience” already ongoing in Storrs. The event will include keynotes from three international leaders in mathematical neuroscience, invited talks from UConn faculty, and “flash talks” from UConn graduate students. Students from across any of the interdisciplinary fields that contribute to computational/mathematical neuroscience—including mathematics, statistics, computer science, physics, engineering, biology, and psychology, amongst many others—are encouraged to attend! 

Keynote Speakers:

Victoria Booth: Professor, Department of Mathematics, University of Michigan

Jérémie Lefebvre: Associate Professor, Department of Biology, University of Ottawa

Sarah Muldoon: Associate Professor, Department of Mathematics, University at Buffalo

 

Also including talks from computational neuroscientists (Faculty and Graduate Students) at UConn.
