Scientific Interests
The interplay between mathematics and biology has always interested me. I believe that using good mathematical models we can capture, describe and eventually better understand biological phenomena.
Biologically
I am interested in
- Collective motion and pattern formation in e.g. sperm or myxobacteria
- Cell migration, e.g. keratocyte movement
- Muscle development, in particular with regards to myonuclear movement and size control
- The cytoskeleton, particularly actin networks and the interplay with accessory molecules like myosin or cofilin
- Non-linear PDEs and ODEs (traveling waves, bifurcations,
long-term behavior and asymptotic analysis)
- Agent-based models
- Kinetic transport equations
- The Micro-Macro passage from particle-based to macroscopic models
- Numerical simulations
