James (Jim) Greene

I am an applied mathematician, with research focused primarily on modeling phenomena in the biological and medical sciences. I am interested in a diverse number of biological disciplines, including the emergence of drug resistance in cancer chemotherapy, epidemiological modeling and control strategies, and collective behavior; other research programs include statistical modeling of cancer epidemiology and COVID-19, as I have recently begun utilizing statistical and machine learning tools to analyze population-level (as opposed to cellular-level) data sets. I am also working on understanding the dynamics of the glucose-insulin regulatory system, as well as its interaction with the immune system, with respect to the onset and progression of type 1 diabetes. In all of my projects, I aim to develop and utilize mathematical techniques to discover scientific principles and/or design novel experimental and clinical applications. My work is extremely interdisciplinary, and often includes biological/experimental collaborators, as well as both undergraduate and graduate students.  For more information on research projects, see Research.

Short Bio

Since the Fall of 2019, I have been an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at Clarkson University. From the Fall of 2015 to the Spring of 2019, I was a Hill Assistant Professor (Harold H. Martin Postdoctoral Fellow of Mathematics) in the Mathematics Department at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. While at Rutgers, my mentor was Professor Eduardo Sontag, and I was also a member of the Center for Quantitative Biology (CQB). In the Spring of 2015, I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Maryland, College Park. My work as a graduate student was under the direction of Professor Doron Levy, also of the Department of Mathematics and the Center for Scientific Computation and Mathematical Modeling (CSCAMM), of which I was also a member.
