Nikolay Yanev, Ph.D.
Dept of Probability and Statistics
Institute of Mathematics and Informatics
Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Sofia, Bulgaria
 
Dr. Yanev arrived for a five-month visit in January 2008. During his stay he will conduct collaborative research with Dr. Andrei Yakovlev on stochastic modelling of multi-type cell systems.

During prior visits beginning in January 2007 and January 2005, Dr. Yanev taught a course on stochastic processes and collaborated with Drs. Yakovlev and Hyrien in applications of the theory of branching stochastic processes in experimental studies of CNS development and leukemia.

  Past Visiting Faculty

Anna Liu, Ph.D.
Dept of Mathematics and Statistics
University of Massachusetts Amherst
 
Dr. Liu arrived for a two-month visit in June 2007. During her stay she conducted collaborative research with Dr. Hua Liang.
