Thanh Tran

Professor Thanh Tran is a faculty member at the School of Mathematics & Statistics, University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney). His research focuses on computational mathematics, particularly numerical methods for deterministic and stochastic partial differential equations (PDEs), with applications in physical sciences, engineering, and magnetic materials. He has secured multiple competitive research grants, including ARC Discovery Projects and international collaborations.

• Education: PhD from UNSW Sydney
• Research Grants: ARC Discovery Projects (2012-2026), UNSW Goldstar Awards (2011, 2015), Go8-Germany Joint Research Scheme (2013)
• Teaching: Courses include Stochastic Differential Equations (MATH3361/5361), Mathematics for Actuarial Studies (MATH1251), and Applied Analysis (MATH3051)

His work on numerical methods spans preconditioning techniques, error estimation, adaptivity, and finite element-boundary element coupling. Recent publications emphasize stochastic PDEs and nonlinear evolution equations, with applications in magnetohydrodynamics and chemotaxis models.

Scientific awards highlight his contributions to interdisciplinary mathematics, particularly through collaborative projects on magnetic memory materials and random boundary problems. He actively supervises PhD and Honours students in computational mathematics, focusing on Maxwell-Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations and shape calculus.
