Dr. Kelly Buch is an applied mathematician specializing in the mathematical modeling of real-world systems in biology, the social sciences, and beyond. Her work uses mathematics as a tool to understand how systems change over time, validate conceptual frameworks, and test potential management strategies. Her interdisciplinary collaborations have included projects on disease spread in plant and agricultural systems and models of physiological stress. Students interested in exploring research projects involving mathematical modeling are encouraged to visit during office hours.
