Hello! I'm Matt Ricci. I study dynamical systems in biology, especially as models for gene regulation and morphogenesis. I am particularly interested in data-driven models of bifurcations in biology, and how these models can be used to forecast qualitative changes in regulatory function and the emergence of genetic diseases. 

I will start shortly as a Chaire de Professeur Junior (Asst. Prof.) at Institut Imagine in Paris and my full affiliation is still settling. Earlier, I was a Zuckerman Postdoctoral Fellow with Mor Nitzan. I completed my doctoral studies as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow at Brown University, where I studied machine learning and computational neuroscience with Thomas Serre and Stuart Geman.
