A 4th-generation resident of Los Angeles, Dr. Robert Rovetti is an Associate Professor of Mathematics in the Seaver College of Science and Engineering at Loyola Marymount University, where he teaches courses in applied mathematics, computation, probability, and statistics. He is an MAA Project NExT Fellow, and was a Visitor at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute at The Ohio State University in Fall 2011. In 2008 he received his Ph.D. in Biomathematics from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, where he was supported by a fellowship from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and completed his research in the UCLA Cardiac Computation Lab. Prior to his graduate training, Robert was a Research Analyst for the biotechnology firm Amgen Inc. supporting the development of new drugs to treat anemia in oncology patients.
