Natasa Dragovic

Natasa Dragovic is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of St. Thomas, affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. Her research focuses on applying mathematical models to analyze political dynamics, public health challenges, and social phenomena. She specializes in differential equations, probability theory, and opinion dynamics, with notable work on voter behavior modeling, pandemic vaccine hesitancy, and the impact of mega-influencers. Dr. Dragovic teaches advanced mathematics courses including Calculus II, Complex Variables, and Probability.

Research Interests: Dr. Dragovic bridges mathematics and social sciences through interdisciplinary studies. Her work explores:

• Mathematical modeling of election dynamics and political polarization
• Geospatial analysis of public health interventions
• Opinion formation in social networks
• Stochastic processes in follower dynamics

Key Research Trends: Her recent articles highlight:

• Analysis of candidate positioning using bifurcation theory
• Quantitative approaches to vaccine hesitancy during the pandemic
• Particle method simulations for opinion dynamics
• Geospatial modeling of social influence

Teaching & Service: In Fall 2025, she teaches Calculus II, Complex Variables, and Probability. Her courses emphasize rigorous problem-solving and real-world applications of mathematical principles.
