RESEARCH INTERESTS

My current research interests are in the following areas of mathematical biology:

• The development of deterministic and stochastic population models with particular emphasis on age/size structured populations, invasive species, amphibians, phenotypic selection-mutation, and epidemics. The tools I use are ordinary/partial differential equations, difference equations, discrete and continuous Markov chain models, and Ito stochastic differential equations.
• Theoretical and computational approaches to stability analysis and long time behavior of solutions to mathematical models arising in biology.
• Computational methods for partial differential equations arising in biology with particular emphasis on finite difference and finite element methods and convergence analysis for these methods.
• Parameter estimation techniques with particular emphasis on identifying parameters in ordinary/partial differential equations arising in biology.
