Dr. Cranos M. Williams

Assistant Professor

| Biography

Research Interests: Primary research interests are in Systems Biology, particularly the development of engineering-based systems approaches that integrate biological information at multiple scales for the purpose of modeling and controlling biological processes at the tissue, cellular, and biochemical levels. Specific interests in this field include:

- Nonlinear Systems Analysis

- System Identification

- Uncertainty Analysis

- Optimal Experimental Design

- Biological Signal and Data Processing

Patents: S. Chen, L. Ray, N. Cahill, M. Goodgame, and C. Williams, “Method of Image Registration using Mutual Information,” U.S. Patent 7,263,243, Aug. 28, 2007.
