Work Experience: |
August 2003 - present: Assistant Professor Department of Mathematical Sciences New Jersey Institute of Technology September 1, 1999 - August 21, 2003: Postdoctoral Research Associate Mathematical Research Branch, NIDDK National Institutes of Health Research focus: Computer simulations and mathematical modeling of buffered Ca2+ diffusion and the Ca2+-dependent regulation of neurotransmitter release. In particular, investigated different mechanisms of short-term synaptic facilitation. Developed a simulation package for solving the reaction-diffusion problems arising in the study of intracellular Ca2+ dynamics (available from http://web.njit.edu/~matveev/calc.html) September 1, 1996 - August 30, 1999: Postdoctoral Research Fellow Brandeis University Volen Center for Complex Systems and Physics Department Research focus: Computer simulations and mathematical modeling of activity-dependent short-term synaptic plasticity effects, in particular the study of the mechanisms and the possible functional roles of synaptic depression and facilitation. |
