Dr. Thibodeaux received a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2007. That same year, he took a position as Assistant Professor at the University of Central Oklahoma. He joined the Loyola faculty in the fall of 2010.
Dr. Thibodeaux’s research has been in the study of hyperbolic partial differential equations, systems of ordinary differential equations, and numerical analysis as they pertain to erythropoiesis and within-host models of malaria and dengue infection.
Dr. Thibodeaux received a Fulbright US Scholar award to collaborate with colleagues at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Cali, Colombia. Their work took place from July-December 2018 and focused on developing theoretical treatment strategies for dengue infection.
