Prof. Thanos Manos CY Cergy Paris University, Department of Mathematics, France thanos.manos@cyu.fr Biography: Thanos Manos is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics and the ETIS Laboratory (CNRS), CY Cergy Paris Université, France (2019–present). He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and Physics in 2008 through a joint program between Université d’Aix-Marseille I (France) and the University of Patras (Greece). He previously held postdoctoral positions at the University of Maribor, Slovenia (2011–2014), and later worked as a Research Scientist at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-7: Neuromodulation), Research Centre Jülich, Germany (2014–2019). His scientific background lies in Applied Mathematics, with current research focused on mathematical and computational neuroscience. His work explores the complex dynamics of neural networks with synaptic and structural plasticity, synchronization phenomena, and neuromodulation — with applications to medical treatments for disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and tinnitus. He also develops whole-brain dynamical models informed by neuroimaging data, particularly to study the onset and propagation of epileptic seizures. Beyond neuroscience, his research interests include nonlinear dynamical (chaotic) systems, galactic dynamics, experimental realizations of Hamiltonian mean-field models in laser devices, quantum chaos, anomalous diffusion, and localization phenomena.
