معرفی
Michael Shelley is the Lilian and George Lyttle Professor of Applied Mathematics at New York University and a Director at the Simons Foundation's Center for Computational Biology. He serves as Co-Director of NYU's Applied Mathematics Laboratory and Senior Research Scientist in Biophysical Modeling.
Education:
- B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Colorado
- Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Arizona
His research bridges applied mathematics, biophysics, and fluid dynamics, with a focus on active matter, microscale propulsion, and biological transport networks. He develops computational models for self-propelled particles, viscoelastic flows, and cytoskeletal dynamics in systems ranging from Caenorhabditis elegans to liquid crystal elastomers.
Notable scientific awards include:
- François Frenkiel Award (APS)
- Julian Cole Lectureship (SIAM)
- Fellow of American Physical Society
- Fellow of Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
- Member of American Academy of Arts and Sciences
- Member of National Academy of Sciences
Shelley's work spans microswimmer dynamics, viscoelastic fluid modeling, and biological morphogenesis, often combining theoretical analysis with experimental validation in collaboration with physicists and biologists.
