Federica Milinanni

I am a PhD student in Applied and Computational Mathematics. In my research I analyse and implement Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods (MCMC) for Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) of parameters in neuron models.  My research is part of the Brain-IT project within the Swedish e-Science Research Center (SeRC). I am also part of the Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab).
