معرفی
Adam Runions is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Calgary, within the Faculty of Science. His research focuses on computational modeling of plant development, integrating principles from computer graphics, computational morphodynamics, and procedural modeling. He holds a PhD and MSc in Computer Science from the University of Calgary.
His work explores how genetic and mechanical factors influence leaf shape diversification, with a particular emphasis on growth dynamics, tissue patterning, and the interplay between auxin signaling and developmental processes. He develops computational tools like MorphoGraphX to analyze biological images and simulate morphogenetic processes.
Runions teaches courses on computer animation and computational morphodynamics (CPSC 587, CPSC 601.10, CPSC 687). His research spans topics such as auxin-driven patterning, biomechanical forces in cell shape formation, and evolutionary mechanisms underlying plant form. His contributions bridge computational methods and biological systems, advancing understanding of developmental biology and plant morphology.
