Stochastic Dynamics in Biology

Summer School 2026

June 22–26, 2026

Texas A&M University · College Station, TX

About the Summer School

This summer school will introduce participants to the mathematical foundations of stochastic dynamics as applied to biological systems. Through lectures delivered by leading researchers in the field, students will explore how randomness and uncertainty shape the behavior of biological populations.

The program provides a rigorous introduction to modern techniques at the interface of probability theory, dynamical systems, and mathematical biology.

Topics Covered

The summer school will consist of the following three courses:

Stochastic Population Dynamics Stochastic Persistence Harvesting of Stochastic Populations

Target Audience

This summer school is designed for graduate students in mathematics and biology, as well as advanced undergraduate students. Participants need to have a background in probability and differential equations and be interested in mathematical biology.

Format

The program consists of lectures delivered by leading researchers in stochastic dynamics and mathematical biology. Participants will have opportunities to engage with speakers and fellow students throughout the week.

Participant Support

Participants will be provided with housing, catered meals (breakfast and lunch), and subsidized travel to and from College Station.

Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)
