معرفی
Dr. Dawn Walker is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield. She specializes in computational modeling of biological and biomedical systems, focusing on agent-based and multiscale approaches. Her research includes modeling biological tissues, tumor growth, and electrical properties of epithelial tissues for cancer diagnosis. She leads the School Student Recruitment and contributes to undergraduate admissions.
- Education: Not explicitly stated but inferred from roles and publications.
Research Interests: Agent-based modeling, multiscale modeling in cancer and medicine, electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for early cancer diagnosis, and computational frameworks for biomedical applications. Her work bridges computational methods with biological systems, emphasizing emergent phenomena and translational research.
Articles Trends: Recent work emphasizes neuroblastoma modeling, thyroid/parathyroid tissue differentiation via EIS, and frameworks like FLAMEGPU2 for agent-based simulations. Collaborations span oncology, endocrinology, and bioengineering.
Grants & Projects: PI/Co-PI on grants including £496k for EIS-based oral cancer diagnosis (Yorkshire Cancer Research), £2.5M EU-funded SANO project for computational diagnostics, and PRIMAGE for pediatric cancer analytics. Also involved in Hypermodelling frameworks for clinical multiscale models.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Complex Systems Modelling group and collaborates with INSIGNEO Institute for in silico Medicine. Active in developing tools like the FLAMEGPU2 framework and MAF-based visualization systems.
