Noise permeates biology on all levels, from the most basic molecular, sub-cellular
processes to the dynamics of tissues, organs, organisms and populations. The functional …

Theoretical ecologists have long sought to understand how the persistence of populations
depends on biotic and abiotic factors. Classical work showed that demographic stochasticity …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

The question of how long it takes a particle to tunnel through a potential barrier has been a
subject of intense theoretical debate for the last 80 years. In this decade of attosecond …

Stochasticity can play an important role in the dynamics of biologically relevant populations.
These span a broad range of scales: from intra-cellular populations of molecules to …

There has been a resurgence of interest in non-equilibrium stochastic processes in recent
years, driven in part by the observation that the number of molecules (genes, mRNA …

Noise caused by fluctuations at the molecular level is a fundamental part of intracellular
processes. While the response of biological systems to noise has been studied extensively …

We study vaccine control for disease spread on an adaptive network modeling disease
avoidance behavior. Control is implemented by adding Poisson-distributed vaccination of …

Noise plays a fundamental role in a wide variety of physical and biological dynamical
systems. It can arise from an external forcing or due to random dynamics internal to the …

Environmental noise can cause an exponential reduction in the mean time to extinction
(MTE) of an isolated population. We study this effect on an example of a stochastic birth …
