Teaching

Courses and Materials

  • Cellular Biophysics and Modeling book: A graduate-level introduction to mathematical and computational modeling of excitable cells, emphasizing biophysical mechanisms, stochasticity, and numerical simulation.

  • Cellular Biophysics and Modeling course: Course materials that connect the textbook to model construction, analysis, and simulation.

  • Computational Neuroscience: Applied mathematical modeling of neurons and neural circuits, including conductance-based models, reduced models, and computational experiments.

  • Science & Authority: A seminar on scientific knowledge, trust, expertise, uncertainty, and the social authority of science.

Interactive Models

Browser simulations and games for exploring dynamical systems, cellular biophysics, and qualitative reasoning.

Summer School

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory International Summer School on Computational Cell Biology (2008-2013)

Participants in the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Computational Cell Biology summer school
The CSHL CCB Course was an intensive three-week event involving about 24 graduate students and 20 lecturers. The summer school impacted many domestic and international graduate students, post-docs, and junior faculty. Each year, 1-4 W&M undergraduates audited the summer school with support from my NSF grants or the CSUMS and HHMI programs.
