2016 NSF Math Bio-REU Participants
Mathematical Biology in the
Department of Mathematics & Statistics http://www.uncg.edu/mat/mathbio
Head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in 2011. Prior to
joining UNCG he served for twenty-six years at Mississippi State
University, where he was honored as a W.L. Giles Distinguished Professor.
Shivaji's area of specialization is partial differential equations, in particular,
nonlinear elliptic boundary valve problems with applications in population
dynamics. In particular, some of his recent research focus on models
describing effects of Allee effect, constant yield harvesting, grazing, and
nonlinear boundary conditions due to negative density dependent
emigration. His research has been funded by the Simon’s Foundation, and
for several years by the National Science Foundation (NSF), including a
current NSF Math Ecology Grant for which he serves as the PI. He has
authored over one hundred and thirty research papers. He is a member of
the Editorial Board of several mathematics journals. To date, he has
directed one postdoctoral student, fifteen Ph.D. students (11 graduates, 4
current), fourteen M.S. graduates and nineteen undergraduate research
students (18 graduates, 1 current).
Mathematical Biology at UNCG
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is proud to be part of several research projects in Mathematical Biology. This includes understanding the evolution of cooperation,
modeling disease transmission and vaccination decisions, understanding the effects of structured populations, modeling plant pollination, and analyzing genomic data. The
primary faculty involved in this research group are Jonathan Rowell, Jan Rychtář, and Igor Erovenko with many other faculty, including Maya Chhetri, Xiaoli Gao, Sat Gupta,
Sebastian Pauli, Scott Richter, Filip Saidak, and Clifford Smyth contributing as well. We have also developed close collaboration with Drs. Rueppell, Kalcounis-Rueppell,
Remington, Schug, Wasserberg, and other members of the Department of Biology at UNCG. Further, Ratnasingham Shivaji is currently involved in collaborative research
funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) with Dr. James Cronin, an ecologist at Lousiana State University, and Dr. Jerome Goddard at Auburn University at
Montgomery. They study population models that explore the effects of habitat fragmentation, conditional dispersal, predation, and interspecific competition from the patch level
to the landscape level.
In the past, led by Jan Rychtář, Maya Chhetri, Sat Gupta, Olav Ruepell and David Remington, UNCG has hosted NSF-funded Interdisciplinary Training for Undergraduates in
Biological and Mathematical Sciences (UBM) programs from 2006-13 (http://www.uncg.edu/mat/undergraduate/research/MathBioPoster.png), and led by Jan Rychtář and
Jonathan Rowell, the department also hosted NSF-Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Summer Programs from 2014-16
(http://www.uncg.edu/mat/mathbio/REU2014-2016/). The Department also hosts the NSF-funded UNCG Regional Mathematics and Statistics Conference (RMSC) every year
since 2005, for which Jan Rychtar serves as the conference chair (http://www.uncg.edu/mat/rmsc/2016/index.html)
