S R Lubkin

Sharon Lubkin models mechanical problems in soft tissues - morphogenesis, biomechanics, transport, mechanobiology, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. She has worked in several other areas of biological modeling, primarily in complementary collaboration with experimental biologists. Her research is partially funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. She is always interested in new collaborations with biologists and medical researchers, and usually has opportunities for graduate students who are strong in applied mathematics or biomedical engineering, and who want to learn how to model what tissues do.

Dr. Lubkin is a Professor in the NCSU department of Mathematics, and is an associate faculty member of the NCSU/UNC department of Biomedical Engineering. She is affiliated with the Center for Research in Scientific Computing. Some of her advisees are in Biomathematics, some are in Applied Mathematics, and some are in Biomedical Engineering.

She is active nationally and internationally.  She organized the 2007 and 2008 Industrial Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Workshop for graduate students (IMSM), and was on the organizing committee of the 2006 IPAM workshop Cells and Materials: the Interface. She is Publications Chair of the Society for Mathematical Biology (2004-10) and served (1998-2002) on its Board of Directors. Dr. Lubkin is former co-Chair (2004-6) and Webmaster (2002-7) of the NCSU Association of Women Faculty.
