Research summary
As we continue to confront global environmental issues like greenhouse gas emissions, industrial pollution and harmful algae blooms, we need to find new solutions. By providing novel mathematical approaches, the field of mathematical biosciences has ideas to offer. As Canada Research Chair in Mathematical Biosciences, Dr. Hao Wang aims to uncover information that could help solve these complex problems.
He and his research team are developing innovative mathematical methods to address these thorny challenges. Their work will improve our stewardship of the environment and the way we make decisions about it. For example, they are applying concepts in chemistry and cognitive movement theory to understand biodiversity. In addition, by integrating modern technologies like machine learning, they may uncover information that could help us to react quickly to the emergence of harmful species or diseases.
