Dominik Wodarz obtained his undergraduate degree in Biology at Imperial College London, and received a PhD in Zoology from the University of Oxford. He spent his postdoctoral years as a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Before joining UCSD, he held faculty positions at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle and the University of California Irvine.

Samrat received his BSc in Physics from Sripat Singh College, Kalyani University. He then did his MSc-PhD degree in Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. During his Phd, Samrat worked on a variety of problems in mathematical biology and eco-evolutionary dynamics, particularly investigating mechanisms that mitigate the tragedy of the commons within a population. Starting January 2025, Samrat will continue his work in mathematical biology as a postdoctoral scholar at UCSD.

Sydney received her Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto, majoring in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Physics, and minoring in Math. She obtained her MSc in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Toronto, before starting the PhD at UCSD. Her research interests include mathematical models of cancer evolution and cancer therapy

Ramanarayanan received his BS-MS from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, majoring in Physics. During internships he has worked on projects related to mathematical oncology and cancer evolution at the Indian Institute of Science and the City University, London. In his Phd studies at UCSD, he is continuing his research on mathematical models of carcinogenesis, cancer evolution, and cancer therapy.

Yufei is majoring in Applied Math and Human Biology at UCSD. She has been working on mathematical models of tumors and their microenvironment, in particular tumor-stroma interactions.
