معرفی
Michael J. Shelley is the Lilian and George Lyttle Professor of Applied Mathematics and holds joint appointments in Mathematics, Neural Science, and Mechanical Engineering at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He also serves as Co-Director of the Applied Mathematics Laboratory and Director of the Center for Computational Biology at the Flatiron Institute.
Education: PhD (Applied Mathematics) from the University of Arizona (1985), MS (Applied Mathematics) from the University of Arizona (1984), BA (Mathematics) from the University of Colorado (1981).
Research: Focuses on complex phenomena in active matter, biophysics, and complex fluids. Key areas include fluid-structure interactions (e.g., swimming/flying mechanics), cytoskeletal dynamics, and collective behavior in biological systems. Collaborates closely with experimentalists through the Applied Math Lab and Flatiron Institute.
Labs & Affiliations: Co-Director, Applied Mathematics Laboratory; Director, Center for Computational Biology (Simons Foundation); affiliated with NYU’s Courant Institute and Department of Mathematics.
Notable Work: Models for microtubule-motor assemblies, active suspensions, and fluid-structure interactions. Pioneered computational frameworks for Stokes suspensions and fiber dynamics in viscous fluids.
