Dirk Doorakkers, MSc

My research at the VU concerns functional analytic theory for evolution equations with slowly evolving parameters. In particular, I am interested in applying such theory to Neural Field Equations, which are spatially-extended systems that hold relevance to theoretical neuroscience.

I received a BSc in Interdisciplinary Sciences from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) in 2015. In 2017 I started the MSc program in Mathematics at UvA, during which I specialized in Analysis and Dynamical Systems Theory. I obtained the MSc degree in 2019, after completing a Master thesis project on homoclinic bifurcations under supervision of prof. dr. Yuri A. Kuznetsov and prof. dr. Ale Jan Homburg. I am currently working on a PhD thesis at the mathematics department of the VU in collaboration with dr. Daniele Avitabile and prof. dr. Jan Bouwe van den Berg.
