Research
expertise:
Dr Vasiev has graduated
from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with a PhD in Biophysics in
1990. His research is focused on mathematical aspects of nonlinear dynamics and
pattern formation in biological systems. He has gained his experience in a
number of universities and research centres across Europe including Institute
of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics of Russian Academy of Science and
universities in Utrecht, Munich and Dundee. Dr Vasiev is a lecturer in the
Department of Mathematical Sciences of the Liverpool University since 2007. His
research is associated with theoretical studies of biological development,
demographics and aging. His early works were devoted to investigation of
propagating waves in excitable systems and chemotactic motion of aggregating
cells (Dictyostelium population).
Most recently his research is focused on mechanisms of formation of
morphogenetic patterns and migration of cells in developing tissues. He is also
working on theoretical aspects of aging in human populations as reflected by
mortality data.
