Christopher L. Chariker, Phillip Griffiths Assistant Research Professor

My research is at the interface between dynamical systems and computational neuroscience. I work with networks of interacting neurons viewed as large and complex dynamical systems. My interests range from rigorous analysis of toy models of neuronal populations to large-scale computational models that are biologically realistic.
