If you are interested in Maths and Physics here is quite new hypothesis, that combine these both and the Chaos theory as well. it would perfectly fit to the Biology Seminar talk! It is rather new and paradigma-breaking hypothesis / A New Physics Theory of Life
Jeremy England, a 31-year-old physicist at MIT, thinks he has found the underlying physics driving the origin and evolution of life.
Why does life exist?
Popular hypotheses credit a primordial soup, a bolt of lightning and a colossal stroke of luck. But if a provocative new theory is correct, luck may have little to do with it. Instead, according to the physicist proposing the idea, the origin and subsequent evolution of life follow from the fundamental laws of nature and “should be as unsurprising as rocks rolling downhill.”

Having an overarching principle of life and evolution would give researchers a broader perspective on the emergence of structure and function in living things, many of the researchers said. “Natural selection doesn’t explain certain characteristics,” said Ard Louis, a biophysicist at Oxford University, in an email. These characteristics include a heritable change to gene expression called methylation, increases in complexity in the absence of natural selection, and certain molecular changes Louis has recently studied.
If England’s approach stands up to more testing, it could further liberate biologists from seeking a Darwinian explanation for every adaptation and allow them to think more generally in terms of dissipation-driven organization. They might find, for example, that “the reason that an organism shows characteristic X rather than Y may not be because X is more fit than Y, but because physical constraints make it easier for X to evolve than for Y to evolve,” Louis said.
“People often get stuck in thinking about individual problems,” Prentiss said. Whether or not England’s ideas turn out to be exactly right, she said, “thinking more broadly is where many scientific breakthroughs are made.”

From the details of your question. I think You can choose topics which would fall into these major subjects of biology domain.
Biostatistics: The combination of biology and statistics.
Biophysics: The physical science behind the biological phenomena of the body.
Look deeper into these domains to find a good topic of your choice.

Try reading about genes / DNA, their structure. There are some mathematical deductions too regarding the patterns of the DNA structure . DNA is what defines you and which carries on from generation to generation , try doing some research on that I bet you will get facinated by it as you go forward.

There is a lot of theoretical work in evolutionary biology with a heavy inspiration from math and physics. Heck, the field of statistics was practically invented by one of the founders of the field of population genetics, which covers a lot of evolutionary theory (R.A. Fisher).
I would start with going through Gillespie's "population genetics: a concise guide", which is an 80 page primer on population genetic theory.
If you are looking for super advanced mathematical stuff on studying evolution, look at Desai Fisher 2007, which you can download for free from here:
Beneficial mutation selection balance and the effect of linkage on ...
other topics you may be interested in are (all have pretty good wikipedia pages):
The main founders of population genetics are R A Fisher, JBS Haldane and Sewall Wright.
The Wright-Fisher model
Fisher's Geometric model
Moran models
neutral theory - look up Motoo Kimura, Masatoshi Nei, James Crow and Tomoko Ohta
