Expertise

My research area focuses on modeling complex biological phenomena as discrete particle systems. My interests are in modeling biological pattern formation based on biologically motivated rules, simulating the stochastic effects of discrete interactions, and finding ways to extract and infer information from observables (inverse problems). Past and current projects include topics in development, cell membrane biology, and cancer modeling.

Keywords: Mathematical biology, modeling, cancer models.

Research Interests:

  • Mathematical biology, discrete stochastic dynamical systems.
  • Mathematical modeling in development and morphogenesis, biophysics, membrane organization.
