Personal profile

Biographical Details

Professor Du obtained his PhD in 1988 from Shandong University (China). After spending two years at Shandong University as a Lecturer (1988-90), and one year at Heriot-Watt University (UK) as a visiting fellow (1990-91), he joined UNE in 1991, as a postdoctoral research fellow (1991-92) working with Prof. E.N. Dancer on an ARC supported project. Dr Du became a Lecturer at UNE in 1993 and was promoted to a Professor in 2008. He was an Adjunct Professor of Qufu Normal University (China) during 2004-2010.
Dr Du is interested in mathematical problems arising from applications in other sciences, such as biology, invasion ecology and chemical reaction theory. Some of his recent works investigate mathematical models for propagation, such as spreading of diseases, or invasion of exotic species, which involve nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations, often with a free boundary to represent the propagation front. For research achievements in this and other areas, he was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 2021.
