Jeremie Lefebvre

Jeremie Lefebvre is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Science. His research bridges neurophysiology, neuroimaging, and applied mathematics to understand how the brain self-organizes, adapts, and responds to disease. His interdisciplinary lab focuses on three core themes: white matter plasticity and neuron-glia interactions, seizure mechanisms in neural circuits, and optimizing non-invasive brain stimulation techniques. Dr. Lefebvre’s work emphasizes closing the gap between experimental data, computational models, and biomedical applications. His research has implications for epilepsy, depression, and neurological resilience.

• Education: Not explicitly detailed in the text.

Research interests include systems neuroscience, computational neuroscience, mathematical biology, nonlinear dynamics, and neuroprosthetics. His lab explores how neuronal diversity stabilizes brain dynamics and how loss of this diversity contributes to epileptic synchrony. Recent work highlights applications of stochastic systems and complex network analysis to neurological disorders.

Publications emphasize neural network modeling, myelination’s role in signal timing, and therapeutic stimulation strategies. Articles collectively address brain resilience, seizure dynamics, and translational neuroengineering.

• Awards: None explicitly listed in the text.

Dr. Lefebvre collaborates on pediatric brain tumor survivor studies and neurostimulation therapies. His lab’s interdisciplinary approach integrates experimental, computational, and clinical perspectives to advance neural control and disease understanding.

Active projects include optimizing transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and modeling white matter connectivity disruptions in neurological conditions.
