Hello, I am

Moshe Silverstein

PhD Student | Physicist and Applied Mathematician

Who am I ?

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the field of applied mathematics.

My interest is in leveraging the power of mathematics to study real-world, complex, highly non-linear systems. Currently, I mostly focus on biological systems. Biological systems are not only extremely important to study in their own right, but they also provide wonderful examples of some of the most complex systems we know. Specifically, I model these systems using Stochastic Differential Equations. I am currently working on applying techniques from the Large Deviation Theory to gain insight into such systems.

My Research Interests

Mathematical Modeling

Applying mathematics to solve real world problems.


Stochastic Processes

The study of evolving ramdom systems.


Large Deviation Theory

The study of rare events.


Physics

The study of the fundamental laws the govern the world aroun us.


Mathematical Biology

Applying mathmatics to study living organisms, including ourselves.


Mathematical Neuroscience

Applying mathmatics to study our brains and the mystery of the wonder of ourselves.
