Christina A Cobbold

Professor Christina A Cobbold holds the position of Professor of Mathematical Biology at the University of Glasgow's Department of Mathematics. Her research bridges mathematical modeling with ecological and biological investigations, focusing on spatial and evolutionary ecology through interdisciplinary collaborations.

• Key research themes include habitat fragmentation effects on species survival and environmental influences on life-history trait evolution
• Methodological expertise spans dynamical systems analysis, perturbation theory, and computational ecology
• Recent work explores quantitative models of biological and antigenic diversity

Her publications from 2022-2025 reveal a strong emphasis on climate change impacts through mosquito population modeling, predator-prey wave stability, and vector-borne disease transmission dynamics. Research groups include Mathematical Biology and Statistics & Data Analytics at Glasgow.

• Supervised research students: Laura Bissett (malaria vector population structure) and Emily Davison (advanced statistical inference methods)
• Active in interdisciplinary methodology development and computational systems biology
