Michael Raghib is originally from Colombia. He is a postdoctoral research associate jointly appointed in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (with Simon A. Levin) and the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics (with Yannis G. Kevrekidis) at Princeton University. He is interested in measure-valued stochastic processes and their deterministic approximations, with rules/interactions motivated by problems in spatial ecology. His PhD research in Applied Mathematics, at the University of Glasgow, revolved around spatial-temporal point process models of plant population dynamics, extensions of those models to include size structure, and new closure methods based on entropy maximisation. Current work deals with scaling in collective animal behavior. We have focused in self propelled particle models of swarms, comprising both naive and informed individuals (in collaboration with I.Couzin). We have drawn much inspiration from methods of anomalous diffusion. This is complemented by equation-free, multiscale approaches to study the coarse bifurcations of complex systems when population-level models are not available in closed form, but there are good individual-level models. Other areas of interest include adaptive dynamics and contact processes. homepage
