Profiles in "Mathematical Biology" Expertise Area

  • Lopez conducts research in two broad areas: Rotation and buoyancy dominated flows and Interfacial hydrodynamics.
  • Baer works in the area of mathematical and computational neuroscience.
  • Pavlic (electrical eng., computer sci., & behavioral ecology) uses ecological thinking to enhance design of engineered complex adaptive systems and engineering tools to find new perspectives on biological form and function.
  • Banerjee has been teaching at ASU since 2012, including both in-person and online classes over a wide variety of courses, such as Enhanced Freshman Math, College Algebra, Brief Calculus, Math for Business Appl & Calc I.
  • Motsch' research interests focus in the mathematical modeling of biological systems and especially those which exhibit self-organization such as bacterial colonies or flock of birds.
  • Gerkin investigates how smell perception, learning and behavior are represented in the brain. He also pursues neuroinformatics, development of tools and standards to facilitate analysis of neuroscience models and data.
  • Smith is a behavioral neuroscientist studying learning and memory systems in both insects and mammals. His work is being applied to studies of human diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
  • Taylor is a theoretical population geneticist who uses mathematical models to explore evolutionary processes. He is especially interested in the biology of soil mites in the Madrean sky islands of Arizona and Sonora.
  • Watanabe develops mathematical models of biological systems to better understand and predict how chemicals in the environment cause adverse effects in living organisms.
  • Fricks' research covers a broad range of both biological systems and mathematical tools with which to study those systems.
