Since 2010 I am on a permanent position as "Primo R icercatore" ( S enior R esearcher, equivalent to an A ssociate P rofessor) at the Institute of Complex Systems ( ISC ) within the National Research Council ( CNR ) in Florence, Italy. I am one of two PIs in the Computational Neuroscience Lab at ISC and am a co-founder of the joint Israeli-Italian Laboratory for Neuroscience (established in 2010). I am also a principal investigator in the Marie Curie European Joint Doctorate (EJD) program ' Complex Oscillat
Previously I was an EU Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellow ( IOF ). This fellowship lasted for three years. For the first two years (the outgoing phase) I was at the Institute of Nonlinear Science ( INLS , Director: Henry D.I. Abarbanel ) at the University of California, San Diego ( UCSD ), Ca, USA, while for the final year (the reintegration phase) I returned to the Institute of Complex Systems in Florence. The main focus was on the development of methods to quantify the synchrony between two or more
In the two years before I was an EU Marie Curie Intra-European Fellow ( IEF ) at the Institute of Complex Systems. During this time I dealt with simulations of neuronal models under the influence of noise ( Research-CR ). These simulations were combined with the analysis of single neuron recordings that we got from the INLS lab in San Diego.
