Alexandru Hening is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Texas A&M University, affiliated with the College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on probability theory, stochastic processes, and mathematical biology, with an emphasis on population dynamics, ecological modeling, and optimal control strategies. He holds a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley (2013) under advisor Steve Evans, and has held positions at Tufts University, Imperial College London, and Oxford University. His research interests include stochastic population dynamics in discrete/continuous time, random dynamical systems, optimal harvesting strategies, and numerical analysis of invariant probability measures. He explores long-term behavior of Markov processes, coexistence/extinction mechanisms in ecological communities, and control problems in fluctuating environments. He co-organizes the Mathematical Biology Seminar at Texas A&M and serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Mathematical Biology and Journal of Biological Dynamics . His work is supported by an NSF CAREER grant. Notable contributions include studies on stochastic SIQRS epidemic models, population size dynamics in multi-patch systems, and classification of stochastic ecological systems' dynamics. He actively contributes to interdisciplinary projects involving evolutionary stability of patch-selection strategies, quasi-stationary distributions, and numerical methods for stochastic processes. His research bridges theoretical probability with applications in ecology, epidemiology, and resource management.
