Miranda Holmes-Cerfon's Home Page

I am an applied mathematician, who uses and develops tools to address problems in science and engineering. My mathematical work draws on many areas of pure and applied mathematics, but areas of particular interest include stochastic analysis, computational statistical mechanics, multiscale methods, computational geometry, and rigidity theory. My scientific work addresses problems in a variety of physical and biological systems, including materials science, soft-matter physics, fluid dynamics, and ecology.
