Multidimensional Age-Structured ModelingCarbon fixation by cyanobacteria accounts for nearly 40% of the global total. A carbon concentrating mechanism facilitates this process by gathering the cell’s available carbon supply around the key enzymes,

An ALE method for large structural displacements in fluid-structure interaction simulations of venous valvesVeins are blood vessels subjected to very low blood pressures, and they rely on muscle contractions and one-way valves to push blood back to

Using Oriented Matroids To Understand Metabolic NetworksGenome scale models of cellular metabolism involve thousands of reactions, even for relatively simple model organisms such as E. coli.  Given a stoichiometric matrix, S, one

Applications of Positive Semigroups for Modeling a Dually-Age-Structured Population Cyanobacteria take in atmospheric CO2 and use light energy to synthesize the necessary organic compounds to gain energy and grow biomass, releasing oxygen

Sama Shrestha, Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Colorado BoulderBayesian Inference in coupled epizootic disease modelsAn important aspect of epizootic disease transmission modeling is to infer the extent to which small-scale

Subekshya Bidari, Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Colorado BoulderOptimizing flexibility in the collective decisions of honeybeesHoneybees make decisions as a group while searching for a new home site or foraging. The quality of

Mathematical and Computational Studies of the Biomechanics of Bacterial BiofilmsBacterial biofilms are communities of bacteria growing on a surface, typically in anaqueous environment. Interest in understanding biofilm behavior arises from a variety

Partial Differential Equation Models of Collective Migration During Wound Healing I will discuss the collective migration of epithelial cells. As epithelial cells are known to remain physically connected to their neighbors during migration, we begin

Jacqui Wentz, Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Colorado BoulderSpatial flux balance analysis for studying pattern formationFlux balance analysis is a mathematical technique used to study biochemical networks. In contrast to other

Lewis Baker, Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Colorado BoulderRules Rule! Rule-Based Modeling in BiochemistryRule-based modeling is becoming increasingly recognized for its potential to heuristically simplify problems involving large
