Xiang Xu (postdoc), Department of Mathematics, University of Oklahoma, Fall 2025-present
Xiang received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Kansas in Spring 2025, and his research is in the areas of applied PDEs and fluid-related models.
Anubhab Ganguly (undergraduate), mentored research experience (Math 3440 & Math 3980) and supported by my Junior Faculty Fellowship, University of Oklahoma, Summer 2025-present
Anubhab's research is on the application of a data-driven method in the modeling of epidemic disease incorporating human behavior.
Laila Ruslan (undergraduate), Summer Research Assistant, University of Oklahoma, Summer 2025
Laila's research is on the application of a network analysis in the modeling of epidemic disease incorporating human behavior.
Ava Cimini (undergraduate), partially funded by the Honors Research Assistant Program, University of Oklahoma, Spring 2025
Ava has been working on the optimal control problem for the SIR model.
Chloe Ngo (undergraduate; co-mentored with Christian Parkinson), partially funded by the Honors Research Assistant Program and my Junior Faculty Fellowship, University of Oklahoma, Fall 2024-Fall 2025
Chloe's research is on the optimal control of epidemic disease by using the Pontryagin maximum principle and designing numerical schemes.
Paper: Chloe Ngo, Christian Parkinson, and Weinan Wang, Optimal control in SIR models with noncompliance as a social contagion, arXiv:2509.09075, submitted, 2025.
Math Alliance mentor for doctoral and pre-doctoral students, Fall 2023-present
While at UArizona, I worked as a teaching mentor for three undergraduate teaching assistants through the Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA) program. The UTA Program for Math and Statistics & Data Science Majors provides undergraduate majors with the opportunity to learn about teaching mathematics or statistics by working with an instructor of an undergraduate course and meeting regularly as a group with a mentor.
