Shishi Luo, Graduate Student

I'm currently a first-year student in the Mathematics graduate program. As an applied mathematician, I'm interested in mathematical models, mainly probabilistic, of biological phenomena.

Research Interests:

Though I originally did my undergraduate degree with the aim to do mathematical modeling in finance, I've since discovered that mathematics also has a multitude of applications in biology. I recently did a project modeling the spread of avian flu on a scale-free network.

Keywords:

Stochastic modeling • Mathematical biology

Duties:

Graduate student representative. I am an advocate for graduate students in the department, making sure any student concerns or issues are communicated to the Director of Graduate Studies and faculty.
