Simon Fraser is an Associate Professor Emeritus in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Toronto. His research interests encompass a variety of advanced topics including kinetics in biochemical systems and the application of stochastic differential equations, especially in modeling anomalous relaxation behaviors and attractors. He focuses on the dynamics of enzyme kinetics and explores manifold geometry related to steady-state and transient kinetics through functional equation methods. His work highlights the investigation of stability, oscillatory behavior, and bifurcations in biologically significant dynamical systems. Recent publications discuss the invariant manifold structures concerning enzyme inhibition mechanisms, contributing to the understanding of relaxation dynamics within stochastic differential and difference equations. Fraser's research also delves into cellular automata (CA) evolution, emphasizing CA models of domain growth and self-organization, addressing phase resetting and the impact of local and global dynamics on wave propagation. His holistic approach represents a significant contribution to the field of stochastic processes and their applications in both chemical and biological contexts.
