Junling Ma

Junling Ma is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Victoria, part of the Faculty of Science. His research focuses on mathematical modeling of infectious diseases, optimal control strategies, and viral evolution. He also explores disease spread on random networks and studies specific diseases such as influenza, HIV, Ebola, and cholera.

Dr. Ma holds a PhD in Mathematics from Princeton University.

His research interests include:

• Infectious disease models
• Random networks analysis
• Studies of influenza, HIV, Ebola, and cholera transmission dynamics

Current projects include modeling disease spread on random contact networks and investigating influenza pandemic replacement mechanisms.

He currently teaches courses such as MATH 377 (Mathematical Modelling), MATH 475/575 (Topics in Mathematical Biology), and MATH 348 (Numerical Methods).

Dr. Ma advises graduate students in mathematical biology and epidemiological modeling. Specific grant details are not provided in the text.

He features in the Faces of UVic Research video, discussing his work as a statistical mathematician and his contributions to understanding disease spread and control.
