Long Bio
Hal Smith's research focuses on differential equations, dynamical systems, and their applications to the biological sciences. Differential equations constitute the basic language of how things change with time or with space, or with both: Newton's second law of motion being the most well known example.
Those describing change in a biological system, for example, changes in the number of susceptible, infected and recovered individuals as an epidemic progresses, are often quite different than those that arise in the physical sciences.
His more theoretical work, the subject of two monographs, is directed towards developing new mathematical tools that facilitate understanding the long-term behavior of solutions of differential equations arising in biology. He also works on applying these methods to particular problems including modeling the microbial community of the mammalian gut, the in-vivo dynamics of the HIV virus infection of immune cells, and antibiotic treatment of bacterial infections.
