The research group Mathematical Modelling works at the theoretical description of complex living systems at the interface of theoretical ecology and applied mathematics.
Using modern tools from statistical physics, complex networks, dynamical systems theory and data science, it aims to obtain fundamental insights into the organization of living systems, but is also concerned with the application of such concepts to specific biological systems and tangible applications.
Major research activities are relevant to all three HIFMB research areas and include such diverse fields as population dynamics and species interactions in spatially extended environments, biodiversity, bioinvasion and epidemic spread, evolution and adaptation, animal navigation and search strategies, origins of life, microbiology, and marine biogeochemistry.
