Research group description

The Computational Resilience Research group investigates the dynamics of resilience at the intersection of modeling, machine learning, and medicine. In an interplay between theory and modern data analysis, we unravel complex processes that prevent or enable resilience. To that end, we work in close collaboration with our experimental colleagues.

Current research projects
  • Consequences of phase transitions in brain dynamics for resilience
  • Learning and social interaction in mice - individual characteristics and their relation with resilience
  • Gene expression and resilience in cancer patients
  • Saisonal variation of stress and resilience
  • Dynamic transitions after stress exposure
  • Identification of resilient individuals based on behavioural profiles
  • Seasonal variation in stress and resilience
