Leon Glass attended Brooklyn Co llege and did graduate work at the University of Chicago. Before moving to 󷢲Ʊƽ̨\, where he is currently a Professor of Physiology and t he Isadore Rosenfeld Chair in Cardiology\, he held postdoctoral positions at the University of Edinburgh\, the University of Chicago\, and the Unive rsity of Rochester. He has been a visiting professor at the University of California\, San Diego\, Harvard Medical School\, and Boston University. D r. Glass is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, the American Physica l Society\, SIAM\, and the American Association for the Advancement of Sci ence. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship\, the Prix Jacques-Ro usseau for interdisciplinary research from ACFAS\, and the Arthur T. Winfr ee Prize from the Society for Mathematical Biology. Dr. Glass' research fo cuses on the applications of mathematics to study biological function and rhythms in the cardiovascular system\, dynamics and control in genetic and neural networks\, and visual perception.  He is the coauthor (with Michae l Mackey) of 'From Clocks to Chaos: The Rhythms of Life' (Princeton\, 1988 )\, which has been translated into Russian\, Chinese and Portuguese\, and (with Daniel Kaplan) of 'Understanding Nonlinear Dynamics (Springer-Verlag \, 1995). A reception will follow the lecture.
