Leonid Rubchinsky

Leonid Rubchinsky is a faculty member in the Department of Mathematical Sciences)at IUPUI and a member of the IU School of Medicine’s Stark Neurosciences Research Institute. His research involves neuroscience, mathematical biology and nonlinear dynamics. In particular, he is interested in oscillations and synchronization in neuroscience and in other biological systems. He studied neural dynamics in health and disease: Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, addiction, autism spectrum disorders. His research was supported by the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation. Rubchinsky studied at the University of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia; University of California, San Diego; and Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences as well as a postdoctoral fellowship in computational neuroscience and clinical neurophysiology at the University of California, Davis. He is presently a faculty member at Indiana University - Purdue University, Indianapolis (Department of Mathematical Sciences) and Indiana University School of Medicine (Stark Neurosciences Research Institute). His research involves neuroscience, mathematical biology and nonlinear dynamics. In particular, he is interested in oscillations and synchronization in neuroscience and in other biological systems. He studied neural dynamics in health and disease (Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, addiction, autism spectrum disorders). His research was supported by the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation. He is on the board of directors of the Organization for Computational Neuroscience and on the Governing Board of the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility.
