Dr. Thanos Manos’ research lies at the intersection of Mathematical and Computational Neuroscience, Complex Systems, and Nonlinear (Chaotic) Dynamical Systems. Specifically, he studies synchronization phenomena and neuromodulation techniques for treating pathological brain activity, such as that observed in Parkinson’s Disease, Epilepsy, Alzheimer’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Tinnitus. He also develops and analyses large-scale brain dynamical models informed by neuroimaging data.

Visiting scientist

Dr. Thanos Manos is an Associate Professor (HDR, Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) of Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics and ETIS Lab (CNRS), CY Cergy Paris Université (France). He holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a master’s degree in applied mathematics from the University of Patras, Greece. He completed his PhD in 2008 in Applied Mathematics and Physics (Department of Physics, Université d’Aix-Marseille I, France and Department of Mathematics, University of Patras, Greece). Between 2008 and 2011, he held postdoctoral positions and visiting research fellowships in Slovenia, Italy, Germany, and Greece. From 2011 to 2014, he worked as a Research Scientist on a joint project between the Universities of Maribor and Nova Gorica (Slovenia), focusing on quantum chaos and dynamical localization. In 2014, he joined the group of Prof. P. Tass at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-7: Neuromodulation), Research Centre Jülich (Germany). From 2019 to 2022, he held an Assistant Professor position at the Department of Mathematics and Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Modélisation (LPTM), CNRS, CY Cergy Paris Université. Since 2022 he is associate professor in the same University.
