應偉德國際官網管理科學與物流系邀請，2016年6月7日，印度賈達沃普爾大學Priti Kumar Roy教授于下午來到主樓429會議室進行了題為“Escalating Role of Mathematics for Biodiesel Production from Management Perspective”的學術報告，報告會由偉德國際官網管理科學與物流系王建才副教授主持。偉德國際官網管理科學與物流系教師，以及管理科學與物流方向的博士生和碩士生20余人參加了此次報告會。
隨著傳統石化能源的逐漸枯竭，尋找可替代的生物能源成為當前的重要課題之一。農業研究發現，生物柴油是一種可再生的替代能源，而麻瘋樹可成為生物柴油的經濟可靠來源。麻瘋樹對生產環境要求不高，荒地、沙地以及鹽堿地都能種植，但這種樹受到了害蟲的侵蝕。本文中，作者嘗試同時采用生物農藥和化學農藥來控制害蟲的繁殖和生長。作者建立了偏微分方程模型研究了如何同時考慮生態保護和生產管理來優化生物柴油生產。模型的解析和數值結果指出了生物柴油的經濟有效生產方式。報告會上，Priti Kumar Roy教授與同學們積極互動，就報告中的問題進行了深入的討論，并引導同學們進行思考，同學們踴躍提問，Priti Kumar Roy教授都悉心的一一作答。
Priti Kumar Roy教授簡介：
Dr. Priti Kumar Roy is a Professor of Jadavpur University in the Department of Mathematics. He is proficient in nonlinear system dynamics and an expert in mathematical modeling. He research mainly on infectious diseases like HIV, Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, Filariasis and auto immune disease like Psoriasis. Apart from epidemiology, he also research on Industrial mathematics on production of biodiesel from Jatropha curcus plant and its oil production optimization. Furthermore, he also research on ecological modelling of some important ecological and environmental issues. He has published over 80 peer reviewed publications in International and national journals on his research topics. Prof. Roy edited one book “Insight and Control of Infectious Disease in Global Scenario” published by Intech Publishers and is the author of Springer entitled “Mathematical Models for therapeutic approaches to control HIV disease transmission” published this year. He had guided six Ph.D students and eight more scholars are working under his guidance. He also have a post doc fellow working with him. He is first person to supervise a thesis on mathematical models of Psoriasis. He is an eminent member in different National and International Societies like Biomathematical Society of India (BMSI), International Association of Engineers (IAENG), European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) and European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ESMTB). He has completed six research projects as Principal Investigator, sponsored by various Government of India. Prof. Roy was awarded the Best Paper Award in World Congress on Engineering 2010 held in London, UK. He was selected as an Indian Scientist under International Collaboration/Exchange Program 2011-2012 and again in 2016 awarded by INSA. He was also awarded with “Siksha Ratan” award in 2012. . Prof. Roy delivered invited lectures in more than 20 overseas Universities & Institutes across Europe, Asia, America and numerous lectures in Indian Universities.
