ProfessorPaul Bressloff

Broadly speaking, my current research focuses on stochastic and non-equilibrium processes, with particular applications to molecular and cell biology. My work draws upon a wide range of analytical tools and mathematical methods, including probability theory and stochastic processes, non-equilibrium statistical physics, partial differential equations, dynamical systems theory, and nonlinear patterns and waves.

In 2014 I published the first graduate textbook on "Stochastic Processes in Cell Biology" (Springer 2014). A two-volume 2nd edition appeared in 2022.

From 2001-2023 I was a senior faculty member of the graduate program in mathematical biology at the University of Utah. This program was one of the first of its kind in the US, and many of its graduate alumni are now mathematical biology faculty.
