About Us

Our Company

Applied Biomathematics® is a private research and software firm focused on developing and translating methods for risk analysis. Our offices are located in historical Setauket, NY, about one mile from Stony Brook University.

Applied Biomathematics expands the range of tools for both probabilistic and non-probabilistic risk analysis, delivering our innovation through the RAMAS® software library. Commercially available RAMAS products include general-purpose applications for expert elicitation, uncertainty quantification, and visualization, as well as subject-specific tools for conservation biology, ecotoxicology, and ag biotech. For over 35 years, RAMAS software has served the needs of scientists, engineers, educators, and students, making expert tools easy to use.

Research at Applied Biomathematics has contributed meaningfully to society and to scientific progress. Ten of our publications have been cited over 500 times and two of them over 1,000 times. We have helped engineers test bridges, doctors communicate with patients, students learn biology, pharmaceutical companies anticipate regulatory decisions,  and conservation biologists protect species at the brink of extinction.
