I am a mathematical biologist who specializes in modeling and model analysis - especially as related to collective behavior, population ecology, and behavior-driven epidemic outcomes (including drug epidemics).
This is a cassiopea (upside-down jellyfish). Here you can see it going for a swim before settling back down to its upside-down position on the floor.
Our NSF project combines math and science to study how filter feeders use the water around them to capture prey! I took this video earlier this week.

Ever wonder what a mangrove forest looks like underwater? Check it out! It's remarkably beautiful and a bit weird... I took this footage during our research meeting on March 16 where we are discussing ways to apply mathematical methods to better understand the fluid dynamics of filter feeders!
