Steffen Docken is a Lecturer in the Medicine & Health Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney. He is an applied mathematician primarily focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying diseases, particularly the interactions of immune responses in the context of viral infections. His principal research areas include HIV and Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV), as well as prior work on Malaria and COVID-19. He collaborates closely with experimental researchers in virology and immunology to advance the field. With a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the University of California, Davis, completed in 2018, Steffen's doctoral research examined the effects of anti-arrhythmic drugs on the electrical signaling of the heart. He employs various mathematical techniques, including differential equations, dynamical systems, probabilistic modeling, singular perturbation analysis, and model selection in his research endeavors.
