Eva Deinum

Eva Deinum is a Lecturer at the Mathematical and Statistical Methods (Biometris) department of Wageningen University & Research. Her work bridges computational biology with plant developmental genetics.

• PhD in Plant Development (Wageningen University, 2009-2013)
• PostDoctoral Researcher (Wageningen University, 2017-2022)

Research Focus: Eva specializes in quantitative modeling of plant morphogenesis, particularly mirror-image flower asymmetry and microtubule patterning mechanisms. Her work combines mathematical simulations, genetic analysis, and biophysical modeling.

Recent Trends: Her 2024-2025 publications emphasize spiral phyllotaxis, protoxylem development, and computational approaches to floral handedness. Key methodologies involve Turing pattern analysis and ROP GTPase dynamics.

Scientific Recognition:

• Recipient of a collaborative grant for genetics of floral asymmetry research
• Co-author of datasets on Rattus norvegicus phylogeography

Advising & Collaborations: Eva has served as co-promotor for PhD projects on cellular patterning and project leader for postdoc research on mirror-image flower development. Current collaborations span institutions including Fordham University and University of Cape Town.
