Richard Bertram Research Group

Florida State University

Hormone secretion and neural signaling often depend on rhythms rather than steady activity. Bertram uses mathematical models, analysis, and computer simulations to investigate those rhythms. His research examines oscillation and synchronization in endocrine cells, including pancreatic and pituitary systems, alongside the neural basis of taste and smell. Techniques include nonlinear dynamics, analysis of processes operating on different timescales, and network science. Collaboration with experimental researchers connects mathematical explanations to biological observations. His neuroscience faculty page states that he is not accepting graduate students.
