FALL 2007 TEACHING Math 2403: Ordinary Differential Equations

SPRING 2007 TEACHING Math 8833: Population Dynamics

RESEARCH INTERESTS:

My main research interests revolve around the theory of nonlinear dynamics and applications to population biology/ecology, infectious diseases, statistical physics, geometry, and fractals/wavelets. Some of my recent publications are available here.

ACTIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS (supported by NSF)

I would be happy to supervise a Ph.D. thesis on any of these topics (and more):

Nonlinear dynamics

Population modeleling in biology and ecology

Spatial population models

Models of infectious diseases

Dynamics of food webs

Global bifurcations

Thermodynamic formalism and applications

Genericity of stochastic behavior  Dynamics of geodesic flows

Unification of the following problems: Can you hear the shape of a drum?, does the Dedekind zeta function determine the number field?, and does the free energy determine the potential for a lattice gas?
