Researcher

Tsubasa Sukekawa

祐川 翼

I am interested in a patten formation phenomena in biology. I have been studying the mathematical analysis for the pattern formation problem in reaction-diffusion systems. Currently, model equation for cell polarity is my research topic. I am interested in and studying the stability of stationary solution and the dynamics of solution for the cell polarity model. My aim in ASHBi is exploring a general property in biological phenomena through model equations and making it clear by numerical and mathematical analysis.

Researcher

Ying Xie

謝 穎

During my Master and PhD studies at Prof. Seno’s lab (Tohoku University), I focused on population dynamics models on the relation of social nature to the epidemics. Specifically, I constructed ODE models incorporating social nature from the aspects of social response, community policy, and detectability of disease infection, to understand the complex interplay between social behavior and disease transmission. I am interested in clarifying the characteristics of life and social phenomena, addressing biological problems with mathematical tools, and exploring the application of theoretical insights in life sciences.

Researcher

Jinghao Chen

陳 京浩

Before joining Seirin’s lab, I earned my PhD in Mathematics from the University of California, Irvine, under the supervision of Prof. John Lowengrub. My research primarily focuses on mathematical biology, where I develop mathematical models that incorporate differential equations to capture and explore a wide range of biological patterns and phenomena. One of the aspects I find most rewarding about interdisciplinary research is the opportunity to forge strong connections with scientists from diverse fields across the globe, fostering a world without borders. In addition to my academic pursuits, I am passionate about the philosophy and insights gained from sports training, particularly through running marathons and practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

I was born in Tottori prefecture,and I moved to Kyoto for marriage.
I'm good at "soroban"(Japanese calculator),so I can calculate without calculator when I go shopping.





Permanent Visiting Fellow

Hiroshi Matano

俣野 博

    Meiji University, distinguished professor emeritus（研究特別教授）

After retiring from the University of Tokyo, I moved to Meiji University in 2018 and spent five years at Meiji Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematical Sciences (MIMS). I retired in March 2023, but I am still affiliated with Meiji University with a special emeritus position.

My main field of research is the qualitative theory of nonlinear partial differential equations and its applications to biology and other fields of sciences. More specifically, I am interested in such research themes as propagation phenomena in reaction-diffusion equations, blow-up of solutions, relation between stability and domain geometry, dynamics of free boundaries, epidemiological models, and so on.

I have an interest in pattern formation in biological phenomena. I have been developing analytical methods to understand pattern dynamics for reaction-diffusion equations with nonlocal effects, and applying them to mathematical models.
