2022 Fall Social Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 11/03/2022 - 11:18

On the evening of Monday, October 24^th, 40 PhD students turned up for their Fall Social at Khow Thai, exclusively reserved for this event. During seven rounds of rowdy “speed-meeting,” students who’ve been in the same �鶹��Ѱ��department for years without bumping into each other, were engaged in multiple, quick, friendly conversations between which they cruised the restaurant for random seating, in a Musical Chairs game of sorts. One student said, “it was loads of fund, and I loved it.” Thai tea, Pad Thai Noodles, and Mango Sticky Rice were popular menu items, and students poked fun at one another when it came time to reflect via post-its added to a wall-of-memories, on the most impressive stories told that night- mostly in good taste. Thank you, Kal, for reading aloud some of the notes!

Welcome Assistant Professor, Nancy Rodriguez! Anonymous (not verified) Wed, 11/07/2018 - 16:19 Alexus Longo

Nancy Rodriguez was recently hired as an Assistant Professor in the Applied Mathematics department- this semester is her first semester here. Rodriguez has an impressive educational background; she attended graduate school at UCLA, did postdoctoral work at Standford, and was previously an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at UNC Chapel Hill. Presently, Rodriguez is interested in researching the use of “PDE models to untangle the factors leading to various phenomena in ecology and sociology.” Rodriguez enjoys how the partial differential equations that arise from modeling such phenomena not only offer information about the systems being modeled, but also involve “beautiful theory.”

She is currently teaching a Graduate Applied Analysis course and enjoys how motivated her students are. Rodriguez feels it’s important for all students to attend “office hours, ask questions, [and] learn some computational skills and some analysis regardless of” major or feild of interest. In addition to teaching, Rodriguez hopes to “build a research group which encompasses many interests including mathematical modeling, numerical analysis of solutions, theoretical analysis of solutions, and model verification with data incorporation.” She also hopes to “develop a network for such students in order to help foster their success.”

She was drawn to �鶹��Ѱ��Boulder because our Applied Mathematics department “is a great department in the best location to do outdoor activity.” Rodriguez enjoys many outdoor activities including biking, running, hiking, skiing, tennis, etc.

Investigation of a Structured Version of Fisher's Equation

Recent biological research has sought to understand how biochemical signaling pathways, such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, influence the migration of a population of cells during wound healing. Fisher's Equation has been used extensively to model this biological process due to its simple nature and ability to produce traveling wave solutions. This partial differential equation with independent variables of time and space cannot account for the effects of the MAPK signaling cascade on wound healing, however. To this end, we couple a traveling wave analysis with concepts from structured population models to derive a structured version of Fisher's Equation with independent variables of time, space, and activity with respect to a biochemical pathway. In our preliminary analysis, we prove the existence of a self-similar wave to this equation and numerically investigate how different patterns of biochemical activity can influence migration in a more complicated version of the model.
