The Influence of Numerical Error on Parameter Estimation and Uncertainty Quantification for Advective PDE Models

May 29, 2019

Advective partial differential equations can be used to describe many scientific processes. Two significant sources of error that can cause difficulties in inferring parameters from experimental data on these processes include (i) noise from the measurement and collection of experimental data and (ii) numerical error in approximating the forward solution...

Investigation of a Structured Fisher's Equation with Applications in Biochemistry

June 18, 2018

Recent biological research has sought to understand how biochemical signaling pathways, such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, influence the migration of a population of cells during wound healing. Fisher's equation has been used extensively to model experimental wound healing assays due to its simple nature and known traveling...
