Biography

Dr Leandro Junges graduated with a BSc. degree in physics from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in Porto Alegre - Brazil, and got a MSc. degree in theoretical physics at the same institution. Still at UFRGS, He received his Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics, where he studied different types of dynamical systems subjected to delayed feedback. Since 2016, his research focus has been on combining tools from mathematical modelling, network science and data analysis to study biomedical systems, especially in the context of neuroscience.
