Abstract

This is a chapter for a book in honor of Bernd Sturmfels and his contributions. We describe the contributions by Bernd Sturmfels and his collaborators in harnessing algebraic and combinatorial methods for analyzing chemical reaction networks. Topics explored include the steady-state variety, counting steady states, and the global attractor conjecture. We also recount some personal stories that highlight Sturmfels's long-lasting impact on this research area.
