About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher based at the Institute of Computational Neuroscience at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in the group of Prof. Dr. Claus C. Hilgetag, where I work in the CRC 1461.
My email address is w.braun (at) uke (dot) de.

Research interests
I am generally interested in computational and mathematical neuroscience with an emphasis on stochastic dynamics. Specifically, I work on these topics:Dynamics and computation in spiking neural networks
First-passage problems (picture shows mean exit time for a Brownian motion from a disk with small absorbing holes of different sizes- the mean exit time decreases near the absorbing holes)
Neuronal adaptation with varying timescales
- Correlations and dynamics in non-renewal stochastic neuron models
-
Numerical solution of Fokker-Planck and backward Kolmogorov PDEs by finite-element methods
Analysis of neural data
Artifical neural networks and deep learning.
