Talk Abstract:

Modeling the effects of cell shape and asymmetric cell division on epidermal stratification requires modeling at the sub-cellular level. To meet these modeling requirements we turn to differential equations inspired by molecular dynamics to provide the mathematical framework, and cutting edge computer science to provide the tools to run large scale simulations.

About the Speaker:

Alex has a bachelors degree in physics and computational math from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. His field of research is mathematical biology with an emphasis on computational modeling.

Refreshments:
