Faculty of Science 2017 Year in Review

The Mathematics
of Chemical
Reactions
Dr. Katrin Rohlf 's expertise is in biomathematics. Using computer simulations
and theoretical analysis, she employs
particle-based methods to understand
chemical reactions in biochemical
networks such as blood flow applications.
In 2017, her NSERC Discovery Grant
was renewed through to 2022, and she
received a two-year Faculty of Science
Accelerator award. 2017 also marked the
10th anniversary of the Ryerson Applied
Mathematics Laboratory (RAMLab),
which Rohlf co-founded, and she was
recently a co-applicant in securing
$60,000 in funding from the Faculty
of Science Dean's Funds to upgrade
the RAMLab to state-of-the-art status.
Rohlf recently published in the Dynamics
of Continuous, Discrete and Impulsive Systems;
International Journal of Applied Nonlinear
Science; and Physical Biology. She also
serves on the Editorial Board of Cogent
Mathematics OA and the International
Journal of Applied Nonlinear Science.

Royal
Recognition

Ryerson University
38

Dr. Beauchemin is a young
and dynamic scientist who
keeps moving knowledge
frontiers. Her seminal work on
modelling viruses like the
flu has the potential to help
us better understand this
infectious disease. We are
honoured to have a colleague
who has defined a new
discipline and look forward
to future innovations."
Ana Pejović-Milić
CHAIR AND PROFESSOR
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

Dr. Catherine Beauchemin recently added
a prestigious recognition to the long list
of awards and accolades she has garnered
in her career. This fall, The Royal Society
of Canada inducted her into its College of
New Scholars, Artists and Scientists,
solidifying her status as one of the next
generation of great scholarly achievers.
Beauchemin is the founder of the field
of virophysics, which uses the tools
and methods of physics to describe and
understand how viruses spread from
one cell to another. In particular, she is
renowned for applying her innovative,
interdisciplinary approach to answering
questions about the influenza virus.
In her ongoing effort to change the way
knowledge is advanced in virology,

Beauchemin oversees the virophysics
group here at Ryerson and as a Senior
Visiting Scientist in the Interdisciplinary
Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences
(iTHEMS) research group at the Wakō-shi
campus of RIKEN, Japan's largest research
institute. "At heart, my group's research is
diverse by nature: from physics to virology,
from Toronto to Tokyo. It offers new
opportunities for students, postdoctoral
fellows, and faculty members by
building a bridge across these divides,"
says Beauchemin.
ABOVE: Dr. Katrin Rohlf's research area is
biomathematics and developing particle-based
numerical methods to properly simulate blood
flow in biologically meaningful geometries.
