Professor Veronica Ciocanel holds joint positions in Mathematics (Primary) and Biology (Joint) at Duke University. She works in mathematical biology and uses mathematical modeling, analysis, and numerical simulation to provide insights into intracellular transport and filament organization mechanisms. The NSF award will enable her to integrate these research goals with training mathematics and STEM students in mathematical modeling and data-driven techniques.
The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.
