Junping Shi is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the College of William & Mary, where he has held academic positions since 2000, including serving as Department Chair from 2018 to 2022. He earned his undergraduate degree from Nankai University (1990–1993) and a Ph.D. from Brigham Young University (1998). His research focuses on partial differential equations, dynamical systems, and mathematical biology, with applications in pattern formation, population dynamics, and ecological modeling.
Shi's academic work emphasizes the analysis of reaction-diffusion equations, bifurcation theory, and nonlocal models in biological systems. His recent studies include tumor growth modeling, spatial movement with memory effects, and phytoplankton-virus interactions. He has contributed to understanding pattern formation in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, including marsh vegetation dynamics and predator-prey interactions.
His research spans theoretical analysis (e.g., stability, bifurcation, and well-posedness) and applied models in ecology and epidemiology. Notable applications include modeling blue crab population dynamics in Chesapeake Bay and the biodegradation of organic matter influenced by bacterivorous grazing. Shi frequently explores the interplay between spatial heterogeneity, temporal delays, and nonlinear interactions in biological systems.
