RESEARCH

 

 

                         DAVID L. HU


I am an applied mathematician specializing in the application of mathematics to solving problems in physical biology.  The goal of my current postdoctoral work is to gain proficiency in the application of numerical techniques to biolocomotion.  My long-range professional goal is to continue research in an academic setting.
