معرفی
John Stockie is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University (SFU), part of the Faculty of Science. He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of British Columbia in 1997. His research focuses on fluid dynamics, industrial mathematics, and scientific computing, with an emphasis on developing numerical methods for solving complex physical systems governed by nonlinear PDEs. He combines asymptotic analysis, finite volume methods, and adaptive mesh techniques to address applications in fuel cells, biofluid dynamics, and porous media flow.
Stockie’s work bridges theoretical and applied mathematics, addressing real-world challenges such as hydrogen fuel cell efficiency, tree sap exudation mechanisms, and glacier dynamics. His teaching includes courses like MACM 316 Numerical Analysis I. He has contributed to open-access educational resources, including a clicker question bank for numerical analysis.
His research trends span environmental modeling (e.g., atmospheric dispersion, glacier simulation), biomedical applications (biofilm dynamics), and industrial problems (emission estimation). He emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, often involving computational tools like level set methods and Bayesian inversion approaches.
Stockie’s lab focuses on developing robust numerical algorithms and their application to fluid-structure interactions, multiphase flows, and environmental systems. His work has implications for climate science, biomedical engineering, and sustainable energy technologies.
