Author Information

Alan Garfinkel received his undergraduate degree from Cornell in Mathematics and Philosophy and a PhD from Harvard in Philosophy and Mathematics. After several years of practicing philosophy of science, he transitioned to medical research, applying qualitative dynamics to studying oscillatory and other nonlinear phenomena in physiology and medicine. His contributions to teaching were recognized with the University Distinguished Teaching Award from the University of California, Los Angeles. Yina Guo received her PhD in Control Engineering from Nankai University. Her PhD thesis used Partial Differential Equations to explain the branching structure of the lung. Her computer simulations of branching processes were featured on the cover of the Journal of Physiology. She is particularly interested in the use of graphics and visualization techniques in both research and teaching.
