In the following, some exemplary
work is summarised
In this study we used an advanced computational modelling method to simulate cancer growth at realistic spatial and temporal scales. Here a press release on this work.
A generative growth model for thalamocortical axonal branching in primary visual cortex
Here we employed agent-based modelling to better reproduce a certain type of axonal structures. A press release on this work can be found here.

An optimization approach for agent-based computational models of biological development
I was the base code developer of the Intel Modern Code Developer Challenge. This competition attracted over 17,000 students from 19 countries, and led to the surprising results explained in this publication. A press release is available here.
Sep 2016
Agent-based computational modelling of neural development.
At the INCF Conference in 2016, I presented about my past work on computational modelling of neural tissue development, comprising a number of publications and projects. This presentation can be seen here.

Creative Destruction: A Basic Computational Model of Cortical Layer Formation
Here we employed agent-based modelling to create a
computational model of cortical layer formation.

An integrated transcriptional analysis of the developing human retina
We analysed the human retina during development, also employing advanced computational analysis methods.
The BioDynaMo Software Platform
I am co-founder and Spokesperson of the BioDynaMo Collaboration, an international Computational Biology Collaboration comprising 8 Institutions in the UK, Switzerland, Germany, Cyprus and Israel. A brief overview and description on BioDynaMo can be found here.
