Veronica Ciocanel, PhD

Member of the Steering Committee
Assistant Professor of Mathematics

My work is in mathematical biology, and I am particularly interested in tackling questions about protein transport and organization in cells using mathematical and computational tools. Understanding how proteins move and organize inside cells is a fundamental question in cell and developmental biology, with implications to how cells function in a healthy way and how organisms properly develop. My work involves building techniques from dynamical systems, partial differential equations, stochastic processes, and data analysis, and working in close collaboration with experimental life scientists.
