Professor Fabio Augusto Milner is a faculty member at Arizona State University's School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, where he serves as Director of Mathematics for STEM Education and Co-Director for Outreach and Educational Programs at the Simon A Levin Mathematical, Computational, and Modeling Sciences Center. He also holds affiliate status with the Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation. His research spans mathematical biology, with particular expertise in structured population models for demography, epidemiology, and ecology.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, University of Chicago, 1983
- M.S. in Mathematics, University of Chicago, 1979
- Licenciado in Mathematics, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 1976
Professor Milner's research focuses on developing mathematical models structured by age, sex, immunological variables, and other relevant factors to study population dynamics, disease transmission, and ecological systems. His work integrates theoretical analysis with practical applications, particularly in epidemiological modeling where he has pioneered approaches that connect individual-level immunological processes with population-level disease spread. He has made significant contributions to understanding tumor growth, schistosomiasis transmission, and two-sex demographic models.
His recent publications demonstrate continued focus on mathematical modeling of biological systems, with increasing attention to educational applications. The articles show a progression from theoretical population models to more applied work in epidemiology, ecology, and mathematics education, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach that bridges pure mathematics with real-world problems in public health and education.
Scientific Awards:
- Champion, First Argentine Mathematical Olympiad (OMA), 1970
Professor Milner has advised 19 doctoral students throughout his career, including Robert Álvarez, Youngjoon Cha, and Ruijun Zhao. His research has been supported by multiple NSF grants, including projects on preparing future mathematics faculty and scaling professional development models for algebra through precalculus teaching. He has served on editorial boards for Mathematical Population Studies and Mathematical Modeling of Natural Phenomena, and has organized several major conferences including the Computational and Mathematical Population Dynamics (CMPD) series and the Mathematical Innovative Methods and Models of Biosciences Workshop (MIMMO-BIO).
He leads research teams through the Mathematical, Computational, and Modeling Sciences Center at ASU, collaborating with interdisciplinary researchers to develop mathematical approaches for addressing complex problems in biological and social systems, with recent work focusing on integrating immunological and epidemiological models at multiple scales.
