Dr. Jonathan Rubin is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh. He is also a Graduate faculty member, a CNUP Graduate Training Faculty member and a member of the Center for the Basis of Neural Cognition at the University of Pittsburgh.

Dr. Rubin received his Ph.D in Applied Mathematics from Brown University, Providence, RI. He works on a variety of problems in the area of Mathematical Biology, particularly in neuroscience and in inflammation.

Dr. Jonathan Rubin's research interests include:

• The dynamic mechanisms underlying respiratory and locomotor rhythms and other central pattern generation in the mammalian brainstem
• Network dynamics in the basal ganglia, with implications for motor disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease
• The dynamics of the acute inflammatory response and sepsis, including optimization of therapeutic interventions, multiple-organ interactions, and model-based diagnostics
• Pattern formation in networks of coupled oscillators, including the roles of synaptic coupling and related nonlocal interactions
• Geometric singular perturbation theory and its relation to oscillations and bifurcations
