Faculty Earns Fellowships for Heart Modeling Research and Servant Leadership

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) selected Elizabeth Cherry as a Class of 2025 fellow. The Georgia Tech faculty member joins an illustrious class of 24 other researchers from around the globe in this year’s class.

SIAM selected Cherry to recognize her contributions to mathematical and computational modeling and extensive service to the SIAM community. She studies the electrical behavior of cardiac cells and tissue.

Cherry’s computer models and simulations improve understanding of cardiac dynamics in normal and diseased states. Using these tools, she designs advanced strategies for preventing and treating arrhythmias.
