RESEARCH
Rohit Kumar, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), where he investigates the dynamics of complex systems through the lens of mathematical modeling and machine learning. His research focuses on dynamical system theory with a focus on modern Hopfield networks and network motifs. His interdisciplinary approach bridges mathematics and computational biology, contributing to the theoretical understanding of learning systems and their real-world applications in biology.

BIOGRAPHY
Rohit Kumar earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur, where he specialized in the renormalization theory of one-dimensional maps with low smoothness. He holds an M.Sc. in Mathematics from IIT Kanpur and a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics from Hindu College, University of Delhi. During his doctoral studies, he was awarded both the CSIR Junior Research Fellowship and GATE fellowship. In 2023, he joined KAUST as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Living Systems Laboratory, where he explores the dynamical behavior of continuous Hopfield networks and their applications in modeling biological systems, and he actively contributes to multiple ongoing projects within the lab. Prior to this, he held academic positions as an Assistant Professor at Amity University Mumbai and VIT-AP University. He has presented his work at several international conferences and is the co-author of peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Journal of Statistical Physics and Discrete & Continuous Dynamical Systems.
