Ross Chiquet

Dr. Ross Chiquet is Associate Professor of Practice in Applied Mathematics at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where he also serves as Assistant Department Head. His research specializes in mathematical biology, developing population models for ecological applications including whale conservation and environmental disaster impact assessment. Chiquet employs differential equations and stability analysis to study biological systems.

Recent publications focus on marine mammal conservation, particularly modeling sperm whale population recovery post-environmental disturbances. He mentors undergraduate researchers and advises mathematics majors while teaching courses spanning calculus, differential equations, and mathematical modeling.
