معرفی
Jochen Kursawe is a Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of St Andrews, with a PhD in Quantitative approaches to investigating epithelial morphogenesis from the University of Oxford (2017). His research develops mathematical and computational approaches to understand developmental biology processes, particularly cellular decision-making, gene regulatory dynamics, and tissue morphogenesis.
His research examines oscillatory gene regulation, spatial patterning in neural development, and mechanical interactions during tissue formation. Current investigations focus on optimizing deep learning methods for biological image analysis and modeling signaling dynamics in cancer treatment contexts.
Recent publications demonstrate methodological advances in inferring kinetic parameters from single-cell data, modeling actomyosin dynamics during morphogenesis, and simulating drug response in signaling pathways. His work frequently combines computational modeling with experimental validations.
Awards:
- EPSRC Doctoral Prize (2017)
- Reinhart Heinrich Award (2018)
He leads the doctoral research of Aimee Bebbington and Carey Li, focusing on mathematical biology approaches to developmental questions. His work contributes to the Chaste simulation environment for cancer, heart, and soft tissue modeling.
