Jupiter Algorta is a PhD student in Mathematical Biology at the University of British Columbia, working under the supervision of Dr. Leah Edelstein-Keshet and Dr. Anotida Madzvamuse. His research focuses on computational modelling of single-cell behaviour, particularly how cells polarize and migrate in response to chemical and mechanical cues. Jupiter combines Cellular Potts Models, finite element methods, and optogenetic data to investigate cell motility, polarity reversal, and signal transduction. He is also actively involved in organizing the UBC Math-Bio Seminar Series.
