Professor Hong Duong received his PhD in Mathematics (cum Laude) in September 2014 from the ITN Marie-Curie PhD Fellow Programme jointly between University of Bath (UK) and Eindhoven University of Technology (the Netherlands). From October 2014 to September 2017, he was a Research Fellow at Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick (UK). From October 2017 to July 2018, he held a prestigious Chapman Fellow at Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London (UK). He became an Assistant Professor in School of Mathematics, University of Birmingham in July 2018, and has been promoted to Associate Professor in August 2022. He was promoted to Professor in 2024.

Semester 1

LI Linear Algebra and Linear Programming (Jinan)

Hong Duong has successfully supervised/mentored postdocs, PhD students, MSc students as well as summer research projects. He is keen to supervise students in a number of research directions, in particular, partial differential equations, interacting particle systems, evolutionary game theory and population dynamics. Please see his research interests and publications for more details. If you are interested in working with him, he would be happy to hear from you.

Research themes

Hong Duong's research interests span a wide range of topics in the intersections of analysis, applied probability and computational mathematics. Most of his research are inspired from applications in statistical physics and biological/social/material sciences. Specifically, he has been working on:

• Partial differential equations, variational calculus, optimal transport,
• Non-equilibrium thermodynamics, GENERIC (General Equation for Non-Equilibrium Reversible-Irreversible Coupling) framework,
• Interacting particle systems,
• Model reduction and coarse graining of complex systems,
• Evolutionary game theory, evolution and promotion of cooperation,
• Random polynomial theory.

Current projects

• Variational structures, convergence to equilibrium and multiscale analysis for non-Markovian systems, EPSRC New Investigator Award, EP/V038516/1 (2021-2023)

Hong Duong’s has organised a couple of international workshops and conferences. He has regularly been invited to deliver research talks at conferences/workshops/departmental seminars. He has been reviewers for many mathematical and interdisciplinary journals and grant applications. He has been a member of the Equality-Diversity-Inclusion (EDI) Committee at the School of Mathematics, University of Birmingham during 2018-2021.
