Adrián Ponce Álvarez
Lecturer
Calculus
Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Physics (Université Paris XI)
PhD in Neuroscience (Aix-Marseille Université)
Adrián Ponce was a postdoctoral fellow at the Computational Neuroscience Group at the Center for Brain and Cognition (CBC) at UPF from 2011 to 2022 and is currently a Ramón y Cajal Research Fellow at UPC–BarcelonaTech.
His research concerns the study of neural networks at different scales and in different states. His main focuses are on how cognitive processes are represented in the spatiotemporal patterns of neuronal activity, how brain regions interact, how collective behaviours emerge in neural networks and how these collective behaviours underlie brain function/dysfunction and different brain states.
His approach uses a combination of data analysis and theory, including stochastic dynamical systems, information theory, statistical mechanics, machine learning and network theory.
