Statement of Research Interests

چکیده
I first got introduced to research when I was an undergraduate, with Professor Sven Sigurðsson and the late Professor Kjartan G. Magnússon at the University of Iceland. I programmed and simulated a model for the migration of the Icelandic capelin (Mallotus villosus) [1], which is a small pelagic fish in the Icelandic waters [2, 3], briefly discussed below. During my graduate studies, with Professor Björn Birnir as my advisor, I worked on similar models and focused on applications to the Icelandic capelin [4]. In addition to models on the migration path of the capelin, I worked on a model on the inner energy fluxes of the capelin, capturing e.g. the roe and fat contents [5]. After graduating, my collaboration with my advisors has continued, and I am also building a network of collaborators around the world [6]. In 2010, I was awarded the UCM-EEA Abel Grant to work with Professor Ana Carpio at Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain. My work in Madrid got me involved in very different models than I had previously worked with. These were models of bacteria growing on surfaces with fluid flow; including such mechanisms as cell erosion and decay, cell division, and attachment of suspended bacteria to the biofilm. My collaboration with Professor Carpio, and her doctoral student, David Rodriguez, was both very pleasant and fruitful [7, 8]. I have been very fortunate with both advisors and projects. I was exposed to research during my undergraduate, and I wish to do the same for other students. I enjoy doing research, and hope to produce good work in the coming years. My research interests and goals, along with a brief description of the models used in my research, are discussed below.

متن کاملJean Gourd Statement of Research
I believe that research and teaching collectively support one another. Research strengthens teaching; teaching sustains research. As a result, a lot of what drives my research is not only based on my personal interests within the field of computer science, but is also influenced by what I teach and, perhaps more specifically, the feedback that I receive from the students that I teach. I find th...
