Research Area

• Matanya's research interests lie in the modeling of Immune Complement, an important part of the body's immune system. Specifically, he is researching the sensitivity of the mathematical model of Immune Complement to determine the effects of various perturbations as well as verify the accepted methods of regulation.
• Collaborators: John Younger

Experience

• Matanya has worked as a research assistant for Todd Murphey for the past 3 years, helping develop a Roomba based test-bed. This allowed for the successful simulation and implementation of a cooperative control experiment in which three Roombas were able to move a box across a room.

Hobbies

• In his copious amounts of spare time, Matanya is a free lance web programmer, making such popular sites as http://www.myjinji.com/, http://www.bluespinedesign.com, http://themoviemammal.com/, http://www.matanyahorowitz.com, and even this site you're looking at right now.
• To stay sane Matanya enjoys an eight mile bike ride to school, weight lifting, and playing lots of Risk.
• A paper I have half summarized for no reason at all Modeling and Simulating Chemical Reactions
