Research

Mincheva's research lies at the intersection of mathematical biology and dynamical systems. Mincheva investigates how the structure of a biochemical reaction network determines its dynamical behavior — including multistationarity, oscillations and pattern formation. Using graph-theoretic methods, differential equations and algebraic geometry, she identifies parameter regions where these phenomena arise and studies how diffusion and time delays shape network dynamics, with applications to phosphorylation networks central to cell regulation. She is currently supported by a funded EU Horizon grant on dynamical systems and reaction kinetics and has published in the Journal of Mathematical Biology, Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems and Proceedings of the IEEE.
