Associate Professor Bronwyn Hajek, applied mathematician at the University of South Australia, is an expert in developing and solving mathematical models using nonlinear PDEs.
During her upcoming SMRI visit, Hajek and her USyd collaborator Dr Robby Marangell will apply Lie symmetry methods to model biological shocks.
Hajek has been involved in breakthroughs such as solving the Arrhenius reaction-diffusion equation and models for calcium fertilisation waves. She shares how she is motivated by collaboration and the quest to solve tricky, obscure, unsolved PDEs.
