Research Description

My work in the May-MIDAS lab focuses on developing in-silico models of bacterial stress response. More specifically, I combine mathematical differential equation-based models and statistical gene models to study bacterial response to environmental or host-induced iron and hydrogen peroxide stress. Along this line, I am also developing methods for multi-phenotype parametrization and optimization of dynamical system models.
