Aaditya Rangan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at New York University. He has a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, obtained in 2003, and a B.A. in Mathematics and Physics from Dartmouth College, completed in 1999. His research interests focus on understanding dynamic behaviors that emerge from neuronal networks, particularly within the insect olfactory system and the mammalian primary visual cortex. Rangan has developed new analytical tools aimed at detecting specific structural types within large datasets, with a concentration on identifying 'biclusters' in gene-expression and SNP data. His work contributes to the fields of computational neuroscience and advanced data analysis techniques, aided by a deep understanding of mathematical principles.
