Mathematical Ecology and Evolution
The 2011 Summer Graduate Workshop will be held at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute from July 25 to August 5, 2011. Summer Workshop topics will include infectious disease, resource management, invasive species and evolution biology. Members of the organizing committee are: Fred Guichard (McGill University); Suzanne Lenhart (University of Tennessee at Knoxville); Yuan Lou (Ohio State University); and Libby Marschall (Ohio State University).
The Program will feature a number of researchers from the mathematical and biological sciences, each of them will work with the students for one day. The speakers will lecture in the mornings, followed by afternoon computer and analysis activity including work on projects. During the summer workshop each student is expected to work on one research project in a team of four or five participants. The following is a partial list of speakers:
- Linda Allen and Ed Allen, Texas Tech
- Chris Cosner, University of Miami
- Fred Guichard, McGill University
- Ian Hamilton, Ohio State University
- Alan Hastings, University of California at Davis
- Suzanne Lenhart, University of Tennessee at Knoxville
