My Ph. D. is in computational biology and background is in pure mathematics; I have a Bachelor’s from Virginia Polytechnic Institute. I nearly finished a master’s degree in mathematics when I joined the Center for Integrative and Computational Biology (CCIB) at Rutgers Camden. I am driven to play a significant role in scientific research; this guided my decision to leave the master’s program and join the CCIB as a Ph. D. student. In the CCIB, I’ve gained experience using mathematical modeling techniques on metabolic networks and vehicular traffic, and I use simulations and control theory to analyze these models.

I am currently a master's student in the Computational and Integrative Biology program at Rutgers Camden. My Bachelor's degree is in Industrial Chemistry from Covenant University, Ota, Nigeria. In my second year of undergraduate, I discovered my interest in solving problems using mathematical methods. Since we had a different education system, it was hard for me to switch programs. The CCIB program has given me the opportunity to explore my interest in mathematics. Working on COVID-19 has changed my perspective on mathematics and shown me how important the subject is in the health sciences. Email Me

I am currently a junior at Rutgers working on dual bachelor’s degrees in Chemistry and Philosophy. I am a transfer student from Rowan College at Burlington County with an associates in liberal arts & sciences and studied many areas of knowledge. I have always had interest in mathematics and problem solving and love many areas of STEM and want to continue to develop skills in these areas throughout life. I also would like to continue on to graduate schools for science and engineering to learn even more on the systems that control how the world functions and research its properties. After education itself I would like to use these skills to work with research and development throughout my life. The main drive to do this is in hopes of researching answering questions that we do not now know, and to also develop things that will help the planet and society for generations to come.

I finished my M.S. and Ph.D. in Dr. Piccoli's lab in biomathematics. I have a Bachelor's degree from Zhejiang University, China. I am interested in the interdisciplinary study of applied mathematics and complex biological systems. My primary research focuses on the use of different mathematical tools, including ordinary differential equation-based models, statistical models, graph theory, and control theory, to study the entrainment mechanisms of circadian systems, human metabolic networks, and forensic DNA interpretation process. Currently, I am motivated to work at the juncture of systems biology, control theory, and AI. Email Me

I completed my PhD in 2017 in Dr. Piccoli’s lab, on mathematical models for pattern formation in biological systems. Before that, I got my master’s degree in Applied Mathematics from ENSTA ParisTech and Sorbonne University (Paris). After graduating from Rutgers University (Camden), I moved back to France and became a postdoctoral fellow with Francesco Salvarani, at University Paris-Dauphine. Since 2018, I have been a permanent researcher at Inria Paris and Sorbonne University. My research focuses on developing and studying mathematical models for large systems of interacting particles. I aim to explain pattern formation from a mathematical perspective, using tools such as asymptotic analysis or control theory. I am particularly interested in the various ways of deriving macroscopic limits of microscopic systems (mean-field, graph limit). I also continue to develop models for biological systems in close collaboration with biologists, specifically in the areas of developmental biology and cell-fate transition.
