Friday, July 31, 2026 @ 2:44 PM
Ryan Bilous is getting used to being mistaken for a PhD candidate in mathematics, even though, in reality, he just finished his third year as a biology undergrad at CMU.
Bilous recently presented his mathematical biology research project at the 2026 Canadian Applied and Industrial Mathematics Society conference in Regina, Saskatchewan. His project focused on mathematically modeling neurons in epileptic seizures. The goal of the project was to mathematically predict when benzodiazepines, the first-line drug, should be delivered to prevent a seizure.

Where has your life taken you since you left CMU?
Since graduating with my Bachelor of Arts in 2022, I have been working full-time as an associate producer with CBC Manitoba in the Current Affairs department. During my final year of studies, I worked casually as a radio show technician, so it was exciting to continue doing what I loved at CBC in a larger capacity. Since then, I've taken on a variety of roles within the public broadcaster, including producing stories and interviews for radio programs, directing live radio shows, writing and presenting for television, editing social media content, and—my favourite—filling in as host for Information Radio, Radio Noon, and Up To Speed. I've also had the opportunity to write, host, and produce my own hour-long radio documentary, The Case for Cursive. For someone who has always been fascinated by radio, it has been a stellar opportunity.
