معرفی
Bruno Cessac is a Senior Research Scientist (Directeur de Recherches) at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis, leading the BIOVISION team since 2016. His research focuses on mathematical modeling of neural networks, particularly retinal dynamics and visual processing. He holds a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the ONERA Center in Toulouse and a Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches from Université de Nice. His academic roles include leadership in interdisciplinary projects combining neuroscience, physics, and computational biology.
Research Interests: His work spans theoretical physics applications to neuroscience, including neuronal network dynamics, retinal processing, and self-organized criticality. Key areas include modeling retinal waves, synaptic plasticity, and anticipatory motion processing in the visual system. Collaborations with institutions like Institut de la Vision and Université Côte d'Azur emphasize translational research.
Publications: Recent work includes studies on retinal ganglion cell dynamics, inhibitory synapse roles in temporal pattern recognition, and computational models of retino-thalamic pathways. His research bridges mathematical rigor with experimental neuroscience, addressing questions in developmental neurobiology and artificial vision systems.
Grants & Teams: He oversees the BIOVISION lab’s efforts to integrate computational models with experimental data, aiming to aid visually-impaired individuals. Collaborative projects include developing retinal models for motion anticipation and super-resolution receptive field estimation.
