معرفی
Professor Hong Qian is the Olga Jung Wan Endowed Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Washington, Seattle. He holds adjunct roles in Bioengineering and has held visiting professorships at institutions like Jilin University and Fudan University. His research focuses on stochastic analysis and nonequilibrium thermodynamics in biological systems, particularly cellular dynamics and complex systems like epidemiology and economics.
- Education: B.A. in Astrophysics (Peking University, 1982), Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Biophysics (Washington University School of Medicine, 1989).
- Professional Experience: Postdoctoral fellowships at Caltech and University of Oregon, prior roles at UCLA and NIH-funded National Simulation Resource.
Research interests include nonlinear stochastic systems, nonequilibrium statistical physics, and mathematical biology. He has pioneered work on mesoscopic thermodynamics of small systems and biochemical networks. His contributions span over 160 peer-reviewed articles, including books on chemical biophysics and stochastic reaction systems.
- Awards: APS Fellow (2010), Royalty Research Fund (2002-2003), multiple editorial roles in top journals.
- Grants: Over $5M in NIH/NSF funding for projects on metabolic networks, cardiac systems, and cell population dynamics.
Teaching spans advanced courses in stochastic analysis, dynamical systems, and mathematical biology. Advised over 30 graduate students and postdocs, many now leading academic and industrial roles.
