معرفی
Monica Cojocaru is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Guelph, affiliated with the Department of Mathematics & Statistics within the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. She holds visiting appointments at institutions like Lehigh University (Senior Research Fellow, 2017-2019) and the University of Limoges (France). Her research focuses on nonsmooth dynamical systems, game theory applications, and mathematical modeling in public health and environmental policy. She has collaborated extensively with industry partners like Sanofi Pasteur and the Child Care and Learning Centre.
Education: B.Sc./M.Sc. Mathematics (University of Bucharest), Ph.D. Mathematics (Queen’s University, Canada). Postdoctoral training at CRM (Montreal) and a 2010 Fulbright Visiting Research Chair at UC Santa Barbara.
Research Interests: Dynamical systems applied to population behavior, generalized Nash games, AI-driven game theory solutions, and pandemic modeling. Notable contributions include modeling vaccine adoption strategies, child care infection spread, and environmental policy dynamics.
Key Achievements: Lead on a France-Canada Research Fund project (2021-2024), recipient of NSERC and CIHR grants, and author of over 60 peer-reviewed articles. Media coverage includes Toronto Star and Global News features on her work modeling toddler germ spread.
Advising & Grants: Supervised over 25 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, with current openings for a PhD in health modeling. Active in training programs like INSPIRE (CBRF HI3 grant) for pandemic preparedness.
Labs & Collaborations: Leads interdisciplinary teams at University of Guelph and collaborates with French researchers (Samir Adly, Limoges) on AI-game theory integration. Maintains partnerships with Harvard, Fields Institute, and Lehigh University.
