Τα ερευνητικά μου ενδιαφέροντα επικεντρώνονται στην κατανόηση του πώς οι δενδρίτες συμβάλλουν σε πολύπλοκες λειτουργίες του εγκεφάλου, όπως η μάθηση και η μνήμη. Οι δενδριτές, οι λεπτές παραφυάδες που εκτείνονται από τα κυτταρικά σώματα των νευρώνων, είναι εξοπλισμένες με μη-γραμμικούς μηχανισμούς, οι οποίοι προσδίδουν στους νευρώνες βελτιωμένες δυνατότητες επεξεργασίας, μάθησης και αποθήκευσης πληροφοριών. Αναπτύσσουμε και χρησιμοποιούμε υπολογιστικά μοντέλα που προσομοιώνουν τους δενδριτικούς υπολογισμούς και τις επιδράσεις τους στην κυτταρική λειτουργία σε πολλαπλές περιοχές του εγκεφάλου. Σε στενή συνεργασία με πειραματικά εργαστήρια στη Γερμανία και τις Η.Π.Α., χρησιμοποιούμε επίσης in vivo τεχνικές συμπεριφοράς και απεικόνισης για να διερευνήσουμε το ρόλο των δενδριτών στην συμπεριφορά των ποντικών. Τέλος, αναπτύσσουμε αλγόριθμους εμπνευσμένους από τον εγκέφαλο που ενσωματώνουν δενδριτικές ιδιότητες, με στόχο την εξέλιξη εργαλείων μηχανικής μάθησης.
