Disease modeling, stability analysis and bifurcation theory, perturbation theory, differential equations models (ODE, PDE, SDEs, integro-differential equations), population dynamics

Any student (preferably BSAM and at least 2 nd year standing), faculty member, and researchers who have strong interest in modeling diseases and other dynamical systems

• Bi-monthly meetings with potential theses students (seat-ins: researchers working on these

• fields)

• Discussion of articles on modeling a particular disease

• Brainstorming: formulate research questions

• Tutorials on methods of analysis
