PŪTAHI RANGAHAU/AUT RESEARCH CENTRE

Modelling in health, biology and the environment

The team uses mathematical models to solve problems in health, biology and the environment.

Our modelling focuses on the use of differential equations. Current projects include modelling nitrogen waste in catchments from intensive farming, tumour cell growth and physiological modelling.

Areas of Research Expertise and Interests include:

  • Modelling of biological systems
  • Mathematical epidemiology
  • Population dynamics and ecology
  • Applied statistics
  • Data analytics
  • Physics-based earthquake modelling
  • Seismic data processing and inversion
