Angela Stevens

Prof. Dr. Angela Stevens is a Full Professor in Applied Mathematics at the University of Münster, Germany, leading the Applied Analysis group within the Institute for Analysis and Numerics. She is an Investigator in the Cluster of Excellence Mathematics Münster and holds an honorary position at the University of Leipzig. Her research focuses on applied analysis, nonlinear partial differential equations, mathematical modeling in biology, and interacting particle systems. Notable contributions include work on chemotaxis, cell motility, and regeneration processes in organisms like planarians.

Education & Awards: Stevens earned her PhD in Mathematics from the University of Heidelberg (1992) and won the SIAM Student Paper Competition in 1992. She has held visiting positions at institutions such as the University of Minnesota, Hokkaido University, and Stanford University.

Research Interests: Her work bridges theoretical analysis with biological applications, emphasizing mathematical models for cell behavior, pattern formation, and epidemiology. Key areas include taxis-driven dynamics, free boundary problems, and multi-scale processes in biological systems.

Awards & Recognition: In addition to the SIAM award, her leadership in interdisciplinary research has been recognized through visiting professorships and contributions to collaborative networks like Cells in Motion and CeNoS.

Grants & Collaborations: She leads research projects in Mathematics Münster and collaborates internationally on topics like PDEs and stochastic systems. Her work on the mathematical modeling of planarian regeneration highlights her innovative approach to biological problems.

Labs & Teams: Stevens oversees the Applied Analysis research group, which actively contributes to the Mathematics Münster cluster and hosts events like the Workshop on Cell Dynamics and Mathematical Modeling (2023).
