Biography

Jeffrey Hudson Schenker is a Professor and Chairperson in the Department of Mathematics at Michigan State University. His research interests lie at the intersection of mathematical theoretical physics and biology, particularly focusing on mathematical physics which is a branch of pure mathematics. He aims to derive rigorous results and equations that represent physical theory. The overarching goal of his research is to produce mathematical outcomes that illuminate scientific theories and prove theorems with significant consequences for science, all based on mathematical structures abstracted from physics. His recent work has involved collaboration with entomologists, applying probabilistic models to address problems in biological fields. Schenker's projects, while distinct in their approach, share a common foundational aspect that is inspired by fundamental scientific questions, such as the effects of disorder, which is a relevant inquiry across various scientific domains.
