Stochastic Spatial Models in Ecology
Project Description: The goal of this project is to explore, both mathematically and computationally, stochastic models from ecology and biology with a strong spatial component. Such models include predator-prey models, species competition-coexistence models, etc.
Student Roles/Responsibilities: Explore and analyze stochastic spatial models, primarily through computer simulations (using existing software).
Minimum Qualifications: Solid calculus background and a calculus based probability course, such as MAT 521. Some programming experience, especially in "C," will be helpful.
