PIMS Workshop on stochastic and deterministic modelling in Biology
Speakers
Details
The traditional modelling with partial differential equations has often ignored the stochastic nature of the underlying biological processes, and focussed on the deterministic description. This has led to significant results and has helped to grow our understanding o real world mechanisms. More recently however, as more and more detailed data become available, small scale changes, uncertainties and randomness become more and more important. Many areas of mathematical modelling have opened up to include stochastic formalisms, for example random walk models for species distributions, or random mixing models for epidemic infections etc.
In this workshop, leading experts in stochastic and deterministic modelling will give tutorial lectures to an audience of postdocs and senior PhD students. This workshop is part of the PIMS Postdoctoral Training Centre in Stochastic.
