He was also the NSERC Industrial Research Chair in vaccine mathematics, modelling, and manufacturing (2017-2022), and Canada Research Chair in Industrial and Applied Mathematics (2001-2022). His expertise includes dynamical systems and bifurcation theory that develops methodologies to identify long-term dynamic scenarios of a dynamical system. He also pioneered a neural network architecture for pattern recognition in high dimensional data. He is known for his efforts in developing reciprocal linkages and collaborations between end-users and mathematics, globally. Since the 2003 SARS outbreak, Dr. Wu has led multiple national teams to develop mathematical technologies to address key public health issues relevant to emerging infectious diseases including SARS, pandemic influenza, antimicrobial drug resistance, Covid-19 and Lyme disease. He is an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research Interests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Delay Differential Equations, Dynamical Systems, Neural Networks, Disease Modeling<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sub-Disciplines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Health, Modelling, Pattern Recognition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","department":[5],"research-area":[87],"un-goal":[27,54,61],"research-method":[],"graduate-program-membership":[],"graduate-program-physics":[],"admin-faculty-title-department":[],"program":[],"class_list":["post-1735","faculty","type-faculty","status-publish","hentry","department-math-stats","research-area-appmath","un-goal-goal13","un-goal-goal4","un-goal-goal11"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jianhong Wu - Faculty of Science Profiles<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/science\/profiles\/faculty\/jianhong-wu\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jianhong Wu - Faculty of Science Profiles\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"About me Professor Jianhong Wu is a University Distinguished Research Professor and a York Research Chair in industrial and applied mathematics at York University.
