Dr. Hongbin Guo
Trained as applied mathematician working on differential equations and dynamical systems. Current work lies in doing scientific research of modelling infectious diseases using advanced mathematical tools to help decision makings related to disease prevention and control in Canada.
Research and/or project statements
My research focuses on developing and analyzing disease transmission models for human infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, Hepatitis virus, STIs etc. Such models could be complex differential equation systems with characters like nonlinearity and high-dimension. Both qualitative analysis approaches and numerical simulations are utilized to investigate disease dynamics for public health practice modeling purpose.
