معرفی
Charles S. Peskin is a Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. He specializes in mathematical modeling and simulation of biological systems, particularly cardiovascular physiology and neurophysiology. His work focuses on the Immersed Boundary Method, a computational framework for fluid-structure interaction problems. Peskin has authored influential textbooks such as Modeling and Simulation in Medicine and the Life Sciences (2nd ed., 2002) and developed simulation tools used in biomechanics research. His research spans mathematical biology, computational fluid dynamics, and stochastic processes in biological systems. He advises PhD students on interdisciplinary projects at the interface of mathematics and life sciences. Key contributions include modeling heart valve dynamics, neural signaling mechanisms, and biomolecular motor systems.
