Interim Co-Director of Cyberinfrastructure & Research Technologies and Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics, University of California, Merced

Sindi is an Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics and the Interim Co-Director of Cyberinfrastructure and Research Technologies at the University of California, Merced. She is one of the founding members of the faculty-led Committee on Research Computing, is the Co-PI on an NSF-MRI grant responsible for the current central computational cluster, and serves as the PI on an NSF-CC* grant which created Merced's Science DMZ.

Scientifically, she is a mathematical biologist. The goal of her research is to use the analysis and computation of mathematical models to gain insight into biological systems such as protein aggregation disease and blood coagulation. Her work generates hypotheses that, when experimentally validated, provide support for novel biological properties that may someday lead to new therapeutics. Her lab consists of ten graduate students from Applied Mathematics and Quantitative and Systems Biology at UC Merced as well as the University of Lyon. This work is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health and the Army Office of Scientific Research.
