معرفی
Patrick Desrosiers serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Physics, Physical Engineering and Optics within Université Laval's Faculty of Science and Engineering, while conducting neuroscience research at the CERVO Brain Research Center. He co-directs Dynamica, a multidisciplinary complex systems research group, and participates in UNIQUE (neuroscience-AI integration) and CIMMUL (mathematical modeling applications).
His academic training spans physics and mathematics at Université Laval, the University of Melbourne, and CEA-Saclay.
Dr. Desrosiers' research centers on mathematical and computational neuroscience, with signature contributions in dimensionality reduction and network resilience analysis. His work bridges biological and artificial neural networks, zebrafish brain mapping, and neurovascular coupling using advanced techniques from spectral graph theory, random matrix theory, and dynamical systems. Current investigations focus on neural decoding under chronic stress and structural-functional relationships in brain networks.
Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals three dominant trajectories: (1) Low-dimensional representations for predicting cognitive decline and neural dynamics, (2) Network reconstruction methodologies applied to neuroscience and biodiversity, and (3) Development of computational tools like NeuroTorch for neural data analysis. His work consistently integrates mathematical rigor with biological relevance across species and scales.
His recognition includes:
- Professeur étoile prize for exceptional teaching (Faculty of Science and Engineering, Université Laval, 2018)
As Dynamica co-director, he mentors a research team comprising Antoine Légaré, Arthur Légaré, Benjamin Claveau, Jordan Charest, Marziyeh Pourmousavi, Pierre-Luc Larouche, Vincent Savard, Vincent Thibeault, and Zahra Yazdani. His collaborative framework connects physics, mathematics, and neuroscience to address fundamental questions in neural network organization, with funding evident through sustained publication output and lab operations.
Dynamica Lab (https://dynamicalab.github.io/) serves as the operational hub for his interdisciplinary research, maintaining active collaboration with CERVO Brain Research Center and international institutions.
