Tomislav Plesa

Dr. Tomislav Plesa is a Lecturer and Fellow at Peterhouse, University of Cambridge. His research bridges mathematics and biology, focusing on synthetic biology and the construction of deterministic/stochastic dynamical systems for biological substrates. He completed his PhD at the University of Oxford (2018) and postdoctoral work at Imperial College London (2021).

Education:

• Doctoral Research, Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford (2018)
• Postdoctoral Research, Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London (2021)

Research Interests: Dr. Plesa investigates design principles of living systems and challenges in biochemical system design. His work includes integral feedback mechanisms, stochastic approximations, noise utilization in molecular computing, and chemical reaction network dynamics. He explores both theoretical and applied aspects of synthetic biology, with a focus on deterministic/stochastic modeling and mathematical approximations.

Publication Trends: Recent works (2023–2024) emphasize chemical reaction networks, integral feedback, and stochastic control. Earlier publications (2016–2021) address noise dynamics, bistability, and homoclinic bifurcations. His research spans nonlinear dynamics, biomathematics, and computational biology, often integrating synthetic biology with theoretical frameworks.
