Research

I am working with Dr. Richard H. Rand from the Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Department at Cornell.  My research work involves using mathematical methods, such as perturbation and bifurcation theory, to study the dynamics of differential-delay equations (DDEs). These DDEs arise in many areas such as engineering and biology.  One of the applications and purposes of my research is the dynamical study of biological models of gene expression.
