Yun Kang

Yun Kang is a Professor at the School of Applied Sciences and Arts within the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts (CISA) at Arizona State University. His research focuses on interdisciplinary applications of mathematical modeling to ecological, biological, and social systems. Key areas of investigation include predator-prey dynamics, social insect behavior, disease spread modeling, and human trust in automation systems. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with real-world challenges in conservation biology, resource management, and human-autonomy interaction.

Research Interests: Dr. Kang's expertise spans ecological modeling, population dynamics, and mathematical epidemiology. He employs advanced analytical and computational tools to study complex systems, such as the impact of fear on predator-prey interactions, the optimization of natural resource harvesting, and the dynamics of trust in automation technologies. His models often integrate stochastic processes, spatial heterogeneity, and temporal dynamics to predict system behaviors under various environmental pressures.

Recent Work Trends: His 2024-2025 publications emphasize novel approaches to understanding species coexistence mechanisms, improving bycatch reduction strategies, and analyzing trust dynamics in human-autonomy teams. These studies highlight the interplay between ecological principles and technological applications.
