Dr. Dshalalow mentored five undergraduate students through FIT senior research program (FIT code MTH 4990) during the UBM sponsored program from 2009 to 2011. The topic of the research was “The determination of mutation rates in samples of e. coli bacteria.” Four of the five students co-authored one published paper, "An unbiased and consistent estimator for mutation rates" (appeared in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, 300 (2012), 360-367). The student research was supervised by Dr. Dshalalow and Dr. Richard Sinden (of biological sciences). It included lab experiments and stochastic simulation (that fully validated the theoretical results and showed a very rapid convergence of the proposed stochastic estimator). Dr. Dshalalow also developed and taught the undergraduate course biostochastics (MTH 3993/BIO 3993) twice during the UBM sponsored program.
