Hermann Eberl

Hermann Eberl is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at the University of Guelph, affiliated with the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. His research focuses on Mathematical Biology and Engineering, emphasizing modeling, analysis, and simulation of biological systems and bio/environmental engineering processes using differential equations and numerical methods. He leads the Computational Biomathematics Laboratory, which houses a diverse research group of undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs.

Key research areas include microbial biofilms, honeybee health dynamics, agricultural systems, and environmental bioprocesses. His work is supported by funding agencies such as NSERC, CFI, and OMAFRA. Students under his supervision have excelled in interdisciplinary journals and secured careers in academia, industry, and government.

Dr. Eberl holds full supervisory privileges in the Mathematics and Biophysics graduate programs and actively mentors students pursuing MSc/PhD degrees. His lab is located in MacNaughton Building, with a focus on integrating mathematical modeling with real-world applications in biotechnology and environmental engineering.

Research outputs span biofilm reactor modeling, quorum sensing mechanisms, and gut microbiome interactions, with notable contributions to the ADM1jl computational tool for anaerobic digestion simulations. Collaborations emphasize interdisciplinary problem-solving, reflecting his commitment to bridging mathematical theory with practical engineering challenges.
