Fellowship Project Summary

FL240100171 - Partial differential equations for propagation and aggregation 

Professor Du aims to develop partial differential equation (PDE) theory and techniques to significantly improve the understanding of propagation and aggregation phenomena occurring in ecological invasion, disease spreading, krill swarming and elsewhere. To better capture real-world contexts, Professor Du will establish new theories and techniques for PDEs over spatial domains that are not fixed, but change with time, and build models which are capable of significantly improving the human control and prediction of these phenomena. This project will generate a highly competitive team of Australian mathematicians with critical skills in a fast-progressing area of international interest.
