Frithjof Lutscher

Biography

Professor Lutscher is working as a Professor in Department of Mathematics and Statistics, at University of Ottawa, Canada. His research focuses on developing and analyzing mathematical models for spatio-temporal dynamics of complex, non-linear biological systems. Mathematically, this results in qualitative analysis of dynamical systems, given by ordinary or partial differential equations, integro-difference- or integro-differential equations. Several analytical and numerical approaches are used to investigate bifurcations, traveling waves and other phenomena. Biologically, topics come from spatial ecology and evolution: species invasions, habitat fragmentation, persistence and coexistence in rivers, adaptation, disease and resistance. He is the author of many articles published in several reputed journals.
