Instructor: FREDERICK ADLER

FREDERICK ADLER

Dr. Frederick R. Adler is an educator and researchers across the breadth
of topics in mathematical biology, ranging from epidemiology and ecology
to cancer and immunology. He received his PhD in Applied Mathematics
from Cornell University where he focused on mathematical models of
ecology, evolution and epidemiology, and has expanded that work to a
wide range of applications in cancer, cell biology and biomedical
science more generally. This work is in collaboration with empirical
scientists, both to use models to establish mechanisms from data and to
inspire general theory.

His commitment to interdisciplinary science that links across
disciplines and with diverse collaborators extends directly to a focus
on mentoring and training in interdisciplinary science and in
establishing collaborations across fields and across different
countries. This includes mentoring graduate and undergraduate research,
designing new courses on Mathematics and Medicine, Mathematical
Oncology, Mathematical Modeling, and Applied Statistics in addition to
authoring the textbook ``Modeling the Dynamics of Life: Calculus and
Probability for the Life Scientists" now in its third edition with
Brooks/Cole Publishing, and ``Urban Ecosystems: Ecological Principles for
the Built Environment" (with Colby Tanner) published by Cambridge
University Press.

Dr. Adler is the 2025 recipient of the The John Jungck Prize for
Excellence in Education from the Society for Mathematical Biology, which
recognizes his dedication to bringing interdisplinary thinking to a wide
range of students and audiences.

Outside of Continuing Education, Dr. Adler is teaching the following regular U of U Biology classes in the College of Science:

Urban Ecology ~ Fall 8/18/25 - 12/04/25
Advanced Statistics ~ Spring 1/06/26 - 04/23/26
