Overview
A two-day conference on mathematical modelling in the biological sciences,
covering infectious disease modelling, and mathematical ecology and
evolution. This workshop will be primarily targeted at students and
postdocs with an interest in the biological sciences. Plenary speakers
include leading researchers in the field of biomathematics. Students
and postdocs will be invited to give contributed talks.
Quantitative approaches to pressing biological problems of increasing
complexity have proven very successful in enhancing our understanding
of living systems and in predicting their future and fate. As such,
mathematical modelling, simulation and analysis are indispensable
tools for research and management from the subcellular to the ecosystem
level. Vice versa, applications in biology continue to generate challenging
mathematical problems in areas such as infinite-dimensional dynamical
systems, multiple time-scales, model selection or model-data interface.
Topic
Will we cover ordinary, partial and impulsive differential equation
modelling for biological problems, evolutionary game theory, theoretical
and computational neuroscience, bioinformatics, population dynamics,
game theory, theoretical ecology and models of climate change.
