Jayajit Das, Ph.D., is Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Wexner Medical Center, The Ohio State University, and Battelle Center for Mathematical Medicine, The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, both in Columbus, Ohio. He obtained his Ph.D. in statistical physics from The Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Raman Research Institute, India. He was a postdoctoral research associate at Virginia Tech, University of California, Berkeley, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, prior to joining OSU. He is a member of the American Physical Society, author of many published journal articles, and invited speaker at numerous international conferences.Ciriyam Jayaprakash, Ph.D., is Professor in the Department of Physics at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. He earned his doctorate in physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and was a postdoctoral associate at Cornell University as well as a visiting scientist at the IBM Watson Research Center prior to joining the faculty of OSU. He is the recipient of a prestigious Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship and NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award, and is an elected Fellow of the American Physical Society. His current research interests include modeling of viral antagonists and immune system response, stochastic effects in subcellular processes, and applications of nonlinear dynamics.
