Adam Stinchcombe

 Dr. Adam Stinchcombe is an applied mathematician and is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Toronto. His research interests include scientific computing and mathematical biology, especially pertaining to circadian biology, retinal physiology, biological fluid flows, and inverse problems. He develops mathematical models in close collaboration with experimentists and invents analytical tools and numerical methods to analyze these models. Adam earned a PhD in mathematics at New York University in 2013 under the supervision of Dan Tranchina and Charlie Peskin for his modelling of stochastic gene expression. While a Postdoctoral Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan under the supervision of Danny Forger, he developed mathematical models of the mammalian molecular circadian clock and the electrophysiology of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. In 2023, Professor Stinchcombe was awarded the CAIMS/PIMS Early Career Award in recognition of his contributions to high-performance computational methods for studying partial differential equations with applications in biology. Adam enjoys playing hockey, bicycling, and camping, along with chasing after his two young daughters.
