Cai, Anna

Dr Anna Cai is a Lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at The University of New South Wales, where she has been teaching since 2011. She holds a Ph.D. from The University of Melbourne and a B.Sc. with First Class Honours from the same institution. Dr Cai has served as a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at the University of California, Irvine, from 2007 to 2011. Her research interests include mathematical modeling and its applications in biological systems. She teaches courses such as MATH2121 Theory and Applications of Differential Equations and MATH2018 Engineering Mathematics 2D. Dr Cai is also involved in administrative roles, including as an applied representative on the postgraduate review committee.

Anna Cai is a researcher at The University of New South Wales specializing in mathematical biology. Her work focuses on modeling biological processes using mathematical frameworks to understand complex systems. Cai's research interests include wound healing, cell migration, and the dynamics of gene expression. She has published extensively on topics such as multi-scale modeling of wound-healing cell migration, noise-driven sharpening of gene expression boundaries, and the role of cellular retinoic acid-binding proteins in zebrafish hindbrain development. Her studies also explore the interplay between cell proliferation, oxygen diffusion, and scaffold vascularization. Additionally, she investigates T cell development and predator-prey dynamics, emphasizing the application of mathematical models to biological phenomena.
