2025 AMSI-ANZIAM Lecture Tour
2025 ANZIAM Lecturer
The AMSI-ANZIAM Lecture Tour invites a distinguished international academic in an applied mathematical field to speak at universities across Australia after the conclusion of the ANZIAM conference. It includes a series of talks including specialist and public lectures. The tour is organised biennially by AMSI and is supported by ANZIAM.
Speaker
Professor Sunghwan Jung, Cornell University
Dr. Sunghwan (Sunny) Jung is a professor in the Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. Jung received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 2005. He then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at NYU and MIT before joining the faculty at Virginia Tech and Cornell. His research focuses on fluid mechanics problems arising from the interaction between biological systems and their physical surroundings. His work also encompasses topics related to bio-inspired engineering applications, taking advantage of physical principles derived from his research findings using dynamical system approaches.
Schedule
Prior to the lecture tour, Professor Sunghwan Jung will deliver a plenary talk at the ANZIAM Conference held in Coffs Harbour from 2-6 February 2025.
