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 or mechanical 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. Her advisees have been in various graduate
programs: Biomathematics, Applied Mathematics, Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical 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. She currently serves on the Faculty Advisory Committee of the
Department of Mathematics. Dr. Lubkin is former co-Chair (2004-6) and Webmaster
(2002-7) of the NCSU Association of Women
Faculty.

Research
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? We currently rank #4
in the US.
