Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSusan Massey is an applied mathematician and research software engineer with nine years of experience building mechanistic differential equation models and data-driven analyses for biomedical research. Currently a Senior Research Analyst in ASU’s Research Technology Office, she bridges domain science and engineering to translate experimental data into predictive tumor growth and drug-response models using Matlab and Python. Her background includes developing PDE-based brain tumor models, parameter sensitivity workflows (e.g., Latin hypercube sampling), and mentoring junior researchers across academic and industry settings such as Mayo Clinic and Systems Oncology. Comfortable with R, Fortran, and Google Cloud for ML, she combines rigorous mathematical theory with practical coding and stakeholder engagement to shape study design and grant-winning projects. An unassuming strength is her long track record of turning complex biological questions into computationally tractable models that inform experiments and collaborative decision-making.
