Dr. Shlomo Ta'asan is a Professor of Mathematical Science in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. Dr. Ta'asan received his Ph.D. at The Weizmann Institute in Israel in the Department of Applied Mathematics.

Dr. Shlomo Ta'asan previously was a Senior Scientist at ICASE, NASA Langley Research Center, and a Senior Scientist in Applied Mathematics at the Weizmann Institute of Science. His research focuses on modeling and simulation of problems in material science and system biology. In particular he is interested in grain growth where texture and grain boundary character are the main statistical properties. Their relations to material properties are one of the current efforts.

In system biology his interests are the immune system and its regulation in health and disease. He uses novel modeling approaches that allow bridging between immunologists and modelers. Currently he is involved in an ongoing collaboration with experimentalists from the University of Pittsburgh to study the immune response to biodefense pathogens including Influenza A, and Fransicella tularensis. T. In addition he is working on early detection of disease based on multiplex technologies with application to detecting abuse in small children showing traumatic brain injury.
