Mathematical Modelling in Biology
Summary
The theme of my research is examining how individual behaviours, or behaviours of different parts of an interrelated system, contribute to the overall behaviour. Mostly I pursue this interest in the area of social insects, usually honeybees but also termites and occasionally ants. But I am also interested in cellular systems such as cancer and atherosclerosis.
