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 and the Center for
Quantitative Sciences in Biomedicine. 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 is Publications Chair
of the Society for Mathematical Biology
(2004-present) and served (1998-2002) on its Board of Directors. 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. Dr. Lubkin is former co-Chair (2004-6) and Webmaster (2002-7) of
the NCSU Association of Women Faculty.

Did you know that NCSU has more research funding in
the mathematical sciences than MIT, Cal Tech, Stanford, Berkeley, NYU,
and all the schools in the Ivy League?
