Key research interests include mathematical biology, nonlinear dynamics, and the analysis of degenerate diffusion equations. His recent studies explore the role of delay in propagation dynamics, the global stability of predator-prey models, and the existence of minimum speeds in traveling wave solutions. Qi’s work bridges theoretical analysis and applied mathematics, with a focus on rigorous proofs of solution behavior and bifurcation phenomena.
His articles highlight advancements in understanding wave propagation in complex systems, such as the Gray-Scott model and auto-catalytic reactions. Notable trends include investigations into degenerate nonlinearities, critical exponents, and the interplay between reaction terms and diffusion processes. These studies frequently employ techniques from functional analysis and variational methods.
Qi advises graduate and undergraduate students in mathematical research and teaches courses such as MAD 2104 and MAP 2302. His office is located in MSB 419, and he can be reached at yuanwei.qi@ucf.edu.
