Tom Stojsavljevic is an applied mathematician whose research focuses on modeling complex biological systems. His primary work is interested in investigating problems at the intersection of mathematics, biology and chemistry. Before coming to Beloit College his work focused on modeling the base of freshwater ecosystems. This work included studies on bacteria-virus dynamics and phytoplankton layering phenomena. Currently, Dr. Stojsavljevic is working in computational neuroscience and is developing new models of deep brain stimulation (DBS) which can be used in treating Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders. In addition, Dr. Stojsavljevic is an active member in the Math Circle community which is dedicated to building, connecting, and supporting local communities focused on the enjoyment of mathematics. Math Circles are powerful bridges among K-12 schools, higher education institutions, out-of-school programs, and families.
