Linda J. S. Allen's primary research interest is mathematical modeling in biology. She formulates and analyzes deterministic and stochastic models in describing population, epidemic, viral, and immune-system dynamics. The models may involve difference equations, ordinary differential equations, discrete-time or continuous-time Markov chains, branching processes, or stochastic differential equations. She is the author of two books: An Introduction to Stochastic Processes with Applications to Biology and An Introduction to Mathematical Biology.
