Welcome to the Mathematical Biology Group at the University of Central Florida (UCF). We are a community of faculty, researchers, and students who apply mathematical, statistical, and computational approaches to address pressing questions in the biological and health sciences.
Research Areas
Our members work on a broad range of topics, including:
- Ecology and Conservation: habitat connectivity, wildlife movement, population persistence
- Epidemiology and Public Health: modeling infectious disease spread, intervention strategies, health disparities
- Evolutionary and Population Biology: dynamics of adaptation, genetics, and metapopulations
- Statistical and Computational Methods: movement models, kernel density estimation, uncertainty quantification
Seminars & Events
The group organizes the Mathematical Biology Seminar, held weekly during the academic year, and the Workshop on Mathematical Biology and Differential Equations on a regular basis.
The seminar and workshop feature speakers from UCF, visiting scholars, and international researchers. Topics range from foundational mathematical methods to cutting-edge applications in biology and medicine.
