Our group focuses on the development of multiscale, multiphysics modeling and simulation methods and tools that help biologists build, simulate and analyze complex biological systems, simulate their dynamics and analyze their functions. Typical biological models include gene expression models, protein interaction networks, and cell cycle models. We are paricularly interested in applications where multiple scales and multiple physics are presented, and has to be modeled in a hybrid way that include both discrete and continuous variables, deterministic and stochastic equations.

We work at the interface of mathematics, computer science, biology and other related subjects. Due to the interdisciplinary feature, we collaborate with other groups with different background.

Laboratory for Advanced Scientific Computing and Applications

The goal of the Laboratory for Advanced Scientific Computing and Applications (LASCA) is to provide expertise and leadership in high-end scientific computing research and education at Virginia Tech. Located in Torgersen Hall, the laboratory is a visible and strategic center of activity in applied high-computation and assist scientists and engineers in applying high-end computing resources to their problems. By bringing together experts in scientific cp\omputing and its applications, LASCA helps build the kind of multidisciplinary teams needed to address today's most challenging computational science problems.
