Australian Research Council Discovery Project DP220101808 (co-CI with Leo Tzou, University of Melbourne) Microlocal Analysis - A Unified Approach for Geometric Models in Biology; $405,000 over 3 years
Justin Tzou's research focuses on pattern formation, diffusion and stochastic search processes, with applications in biology, ecology, and physics. His approach combines asymptotic and numerical methods to estimate key quantities such as search times and stability thresholds and analyze how they depend on transport mechanisms and spatial geometry.
