Marianna Cerasuolo

Dr. Marianna Cerasuolo is a Reader in Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computation at the University of Sussex's School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. Her research focuses on mathematical and computational modeling for medical, biological, and environmental applications, including cancer dynamics, soil microbiome analysis, and sustainable agriculture. She has held positions at the University of Portsmouth and Rothamsted Research, and leads projects like the Horizon Europe-funded BIOservicES and the H2020 Diverfarming initiative. Her work integrates statistical, mathematical, and computational methods to address problems in oncology, ecology, and public health.

• Education: Advanced degrees in applied mathematics and mathematical biology (not explicitly listed).
• Research Interests: Cancer modeling, epidemiology, plant-environment interactions, bio-statistics, and computational biology.

Her grants include the £6M BIOservicES (2023-2028) and a London Mathematical Society grant on microbial dynamics. She teaches courses like Machine Learning and Statistics for Health and Monte Carlo Simulations. Key contributions include developing the SusDiver app for agricultural sustainability and models predicting prostate cancer therapy efficacy.
