Research

I finished my PhD in 2021 at the Institute of Computational Neuroscience in Hamburg.
My PhD research was centered around two main topics:

• Modeling how connectivity patterns emerge in the brain from a graph theoretical, computational perspective.

  

• The cross-talk between biological and artificial neural networks, i.e., brain inspired neural networks.

  

Selected publications:

• Brain Connectivity meets Reservoir Computing
  Damicelli, Hilgetag, A Goulas. Plos Computational Biology, 2021.
• Bio-instantiated recurrent neural networks: Integrating neurobiology-based network topology in artificial networks
  Goulas, Damicelli, Hilgetag. Neural Networks, 2021.
• Topological reinforcement as a principle of modularity emergence in brain networks
  Damicelli, Hilgetag, Hütt, Messé. Network Neuroscience, 2019.
