simulation expert
control system analysis expert
biodynamics expert
biological modeling expert
biotechnology modeling expert |
He is an expert in the use of the software MATLAB and MATHEMATICA for analysis and ACSL and SIMULINK for simulation. His experience in systems modeling, model analysis, and simulation includes: biosystems, including Monod food chain persistence, competition of Monod consumers, special resource consumption, and the Monod food web. While at the NASA Ames research center, he directed these capabilities to R&D in self-replicating peptide dynamics and to the population dynamics of the microbe Pseudomonas flourescens and systems of other microbes. |
