Robeva holds a Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the University of
Virginia. She teaches classes in both mathematics and computer science
which reflects her current research interests. Dr. Robeva is involved
in
a variety of projects ranging from pure mathematics.
Her work in theoretical mathematics has focused on the geometry of random fields, the equality between the sharp and germ-filed Markov property for random fields, and the problem of spectral synthesis in certain function spaces. Her applied projects have been related to developing mathematical models for the life sciences ranging from new methods for quantifying biobehavioral determinants of risk for severe hypoglycemia in Type I Diabetes Mellitus to new mathematical markers for diagnosing Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) based on electroencephalographic (EEG) data. Some of her recent publications and a complete CV may be found here. Dr Robeva's research and educational activities have been and are currently supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, The National Institutes of Health, the Thomas F. and Kate Miller Jeffress Memorial Trust, the Commonwealth Health Research Board, and the Carilion Biomedical Institute. Some of these projects are beeing developed in collaboration with the Center for Biomathematical Technology at the University of Virginia and the Virginia Bioinformatics Instituteat Virginia Tech. Robeva is also the lead author for the undergraduate text "An Invitation to Biomathematics" and the accompanying "Labrotory Manual of Biomathematics."
