Research Theme
Mathematical modeling of rhythmic behavior in Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, and Medical ScienceDynamical order appears in rhythmic elements when they interact each other. Such behavior is called "synchronization", which is of great importance in fields ranging from Engineering to Medical Science. In particular, it is often the underlying mechanism for the formation of biological functions such as the circadian rhythms and Parkinson's disease. In this research project, I shall tackle practical problems involved with synchronization through constructing mathematical models. For example, the control of circadian rhythms and chemical reactions is dealt with.
