معرفی
Bjorn Sandstede is the Alumni-Alumnae University Professor of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. His research focuses on applied dynamical systems, nonlinear waves, pattern formation, and computational biology. He holds a PhD from the University of Stuttgart and has held faculty positions at The Ohio State University and the University of Surrey before joining Brown in 2008. Sandstede has received numerous awards, including the SIAM J.D. Crawford Prize and the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. He served as Department Chair at Brown and directed the Data Science Initiative. His work involves interdisciplinary collaborations, such as modeling zebrafish stripe formation and developing computational tools like SCOT for single-cell data integration. Sandstede also mentors extensively, advising over 30 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. He leads the NSF-funded Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) and contributes to initiatives promoting diversity and inclusion in STEM.
