Biography

Dr. Anotida Madzvamuse

I recently joined the University of British Columbia as a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics since October 2022. Before that, I was Professor of Mathematical and Computational Biology at the University of Sussex (2006 - 2022: rising from Assistant, Associate to Professor).

My research lies at the interface between fundamental disciplines (mathematics, numerical analysis, physics, scientific computing) and experimental sciences (developmental, cellular and plant biology, biomedicine) and seeks to propose, develop, analyse and simulate new mathematical and computational approaches applied to experimental sciences. My research areas are in mathematical modelling and analysis, numerical analysis, and parameter inference and estimation. More specifically, I develop bulk-surface-extracellular PDEs in biology, bulk-surface finite elements, bulk-surface virtual elements, bulk-surface geometric PDEs and their applications to pattern formation (bulk-surface reaction-diffusion models), and cell motility (coupling geometric PDEs with multi-physics to study how single and collective cells migrate through complex non-isotropic environments).

I am passionate about teaching both at undergraduate and graduate levels as well as supervising research projects in the areas of theoretical and computational biology.
