Alexandria Volkening develops mathematical and computational models to study how patterns and structures form in biological and social systems, such as skin pigment patterns in zebrafish, cell movement and organization, and even the dynamics of election polling. A key part of this work involves using tools like topological data analysis (a way of quantifying shapes and patterns in data) and agent-based simulations to compare models with real data and to learn underlying equations that describe biological processes.
