Andreas Buttenschön

Andreas Buttenschön is an Assistant Professor in Applied Mathematics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, affiliated with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. His research bridges mathematical analysis with biological systems, focusing on cellular dynamics, non-local modeling, and computational methods.

• Key research areas: Applied Mathematics, Mathematical Biology, Computational Biology, and Non-local Modeling
• Teaches advanced courses like Math 456 (Mathematical Modeling), Math 725 (Functional Analysis), and Math 545 (Applied Linear Algebra)

His publications explore interdisciplinary topics such as cell polarization, collective migration, and cytoskeletal dynamics. Notably, his work integrates numerical methods with biological applications, including finite difference schemes for partial differential equations and stochastic simulations for cellular processes. Recent projects emphasize continuum models for cell clusters and bifurcation analysis in polarized systems.
