Roberto Budzinski

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Western University and Fields Institute in Canada, where I work with Lyle Muller. Before that, I got my PhD in Physics at Universidade Federal do Paraná in Brazil. You can reach me at rbudzins@uwo.ca. 

My research brings together nonlinear dynamics, network theory, computational neuroscience, and machine learning. I recently developed a novel approach that connects the spectrum of an oscillator network to the emergent dynamics. This allows for analytical insights into the emergence of specific spatiotemporal patterns, including synchronization, travelling waves, and chimera states. My current interests include transient dynamics, the emergence of waves in neural networks, dynamics-based computation, and mathematical approaches to machine learning.
