Matthew Lastner

I am a second-year mathematics Ph.D. student in the mathematical biology group at the University of Utah co-advised by Chris Miles and Ofer Rog. My research focuses on the biophysical behavior and properties of the chromosomal axis during meiosis through a blend of experimental, computational, and mathematical methods.

This webpage is very much a work in progress; please excuse the lack of interesting visuals and graphics. The focus of this website is to provide links to my groups and activities for others.


At the University of Utah, I am a part of several groups and seminars. If you are interested in learning more about any of these groups, please reach out to me.

Teaching

I have been fortunate to teach in several capacities over the years at both the University of Utah and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
