Michael Pan is a systems biologist and applied mathematician with an interest in modelling the flow of energy in biological systems. He is working on developing large-scale mathematical models of metabolism calibrated to experimental data.

Michael completed his PhD in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Melbourne, where he developed novel multi-physics and energy-based methods for analysing biochemical systems. Following his PhD, he undertook postdoctoral research within biomedical engineering and then mathematical biology, where he applied his energy-based approaches to whole-cell modelling, synthetic biology and cardiac physiology. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow within the University of Melbourne MACSYS node, and is also jointly appointed as a research fellow in mathematical modelling at the Melbourne Veterinary School.
