Aaditya Rangan

Aaditya Rangan is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. He holds a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley (2003) and a B.A. from Dartmouth College (1999). His research focuses on applying numerical analysis and scientific computing to biological systems, including neuronal network dynamics in the insect olfactory system and mammalian visual cortex. He also develops computational tools for genomic data analysis, particularly biclustering methods for gene expression and SNP datasets. Rangan currently directs NYU's master's program in mathematics.

Key contributions include models of synaptic depression in neural systems and algorithms for cryo-EM data processing. His work is published in journals like the Journal of Computational Neuroscience and PLoS Computational Biology, and his software tools are available on GitHub.
