C. Sean Bohun

C. Sean Bohun is a Professor of Mathematics at Ontario Tech University's Faculty of Science. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics and an MSc in Theoretical Physics from the University of Victoria, and has built a career focused on developing sophisticated mathematical models for industrial applications.

• Academic Background: PhD (Applied Mathematics), MSc (Theoretical Physics)
• Appointments: Joined Ontario Tech University in 2006, previously Assistant Professor at Penn State University

Dr. Bohun's research emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, applying mathematics to solve complex problems in healthcare, oil and gas, food industry, and forensics. His work includes industrial process modeling, biomedical applications, and the development of innovative solution techniques. He leads graduate student modeling camps and industrial problem-solving workshops, with international contributions to events in South Africa and Spain.

The 15 most recent publications reveal a consistent focus on industrial applications of mathematics, spanning semiconductor manufacturing (Czochralski growth), biomedical processes (hemodialysis), forensic science (time of death estimation), materials analysis (viscoelastic modeling), and optical systems (tunable lasers). These works demonstrate a blend of mathematical rigor and practical problem-solving across diverse sectors.

• Collaborations: Cross-industry partnerships in healthcare, oil & gas, food processing, and forensics
• Workshops: Organizer of Canadian industrial mathematics events and international modeling workshops
• Expertise: Mathematical modeling, interdisciplinary research, industrial problem-solving
