The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to Arizona State University from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The grant is funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, which aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and increase scientific knowledge.
The project, titled "EMB: Mathematical Classification of Complexity in Population Dynamics", will generate biological and mathematical modeling resources to better understand the complex, nonlinear population dynamics shaped by multiple resource limitations. The research team will develop models to classify the transient, intermediate, and asymptotic stages of population growth, with the goal of identifying early warning signals and control strategies for resilient and sustainable ecosystems. The project will also provide training opportunities for graduate students and undergraduates across ecology, evolutionary biology, and applied mathematics.
