Sergey Lapin

Dr. Sergey Lapin is a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Washington State University Everett, serving as Vice Chancellor for Research and Director of the WSU Data Analytics program. He is also a Faculty Fellow at the WSU Honors College. His research focuses on scientific computing, mathematical biology, and data analytics, with recent projects exploring cardiovascular-retinal dynamics and interdisciplinary applications. Lapin holds leadership roles in academic administration and has received multiple awards for teaching and mentorship.

Research Interests:

• Mathematical modeling of biological systems
• Cardiovascular and ocular dynamics
• Data-driven approaches in healthcare
• Optimal control theory and numerical methods

Publications highlight interdisciplinary work, with trends in:

• Biomedical applications (eye-heart coupling, glaucoma modeling)
• Socio-economic dynamics (refugee migration, volunteering demographics)
• Computational methods (fractional calculus, finite element approaches)

Lapin’s advising emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, and he leads teams in WSU’s Data Analytics program. He has pioneered computational models for pandemic response and vascular system analysis. Current projects bridge clinical medicine and mathematical theory, with applications in global health and environmental engineering.
