Spatiotemporal patterns in models of biological invasion and epidemic spread

This seminar is intended to give an informal overview of my previous work and some recent ideas. I am especially interested in patterns of spatiotemporal dynamics that are induced by the joint interplay of spatial spread, demographics (e.g., Allee effects), predation, epidemiology and noise. More specifically, I will mainly address mathematical models of planktonic food chains and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) transmission within cat populations. Moreover, I will present a method how to control chaotic population dynamics.
