Victor LeBlanc is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Ottawa, where he has held various leadership roles including Vice-Dean of Graduate Studies (2018-2019) and Department Director (2007-2009). He holds a BSc (Physics, University of Moncton, 1989), M.Math and PhD (Applied Mathematics, University of Waterloo, 1991 and 1995).
Research Interests: Specializes in differential equations and bifurcation theory, focusing on wave dynamics in biological systems (e.g., cardiac and neural tissue), functional differential equations with delays, and symmetry-breaking phenomena in spiral waves. His work addresses applications in population dynamics, anisotropic media effects, and disease spread modeling.
Recent Article Trends: Recent publications explore integrodifference equations in ecology, lattice perturbations of spiral waves, and degenerate Hopf bifurcations in delayed systems. His research combines analytical methods with modeling to understand complex systems.
- Awards: Recipient of the APUO Teaching Excellence Award (2016), Excellence in Education Prize (2014-15), and Premier's Research Excellence Award (2002-2007).
- Advising: Supervised over 20 graduate students and postdocs, including current PhD candidate Thakshila Gunasingha and M.Sc. student Noah Bolohan.
- Grants: Secured NSERC Discovery Grants since 1997, totaling over $500,000 in research support for studies on spiral waves and bifurcations.
His research group focuses on applied mathematics, with collaborations in neuroscience, ecology, and nonlinear dynamics.
