Mangan Group members

I am currently looking for postdocs with an interest in automated model reduction and model selection for biochemical and chemical systems. 
We accept new graduate students through Northwestern's Ph.D program in Applied Mathematics. Please visit the ESAM department web page for details about how to apply to either program.
Interested postdoctoral scholars can always send a CV and statement of interest via email:niall(dot)mangan(at)northwestern(dot)edu
