   Academic Minute on WAMC: Mathematical Models of Cancer Growth

Undergraduate Research Projects

I am interested in the application of mathematics in biology and medicine. The mathematical methods I use are differential equations, dynamical systems and numerical simulations.There are several opportunities for undegraduate research projects. If you are interested please e-mail me or stop by my office. 

• Mathematical and Computational Biology, Research in Mathematics, Discrete dynamical systems, Mathematical modeling with differential equations, Mathematical modeling of cancer, Mathematical modeling for drug therapy (chemotherapy), Mathematical Ecology/Evolutionry Biology, Mathematical  modeling of diseases, Cell Biology: Math modeling, Cardiaovascular modeling, and Neuroscience modeling

Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research: Free book from The National Academies Press. This book examines current interdisciplinary research efforts and recommends ways to stimulate and support such research. Advances in science and engineering increasingly require the collaboration of scholars from various fields. This shift is driven by ... Click on the link below to read more...(http://books.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11153)
