Research summary
AI-generated

Wan-Tong Li works in mathematical biology, using tools from differential equations and dynamical systems to study how diseases and populations spread across space and time. Much of the work models 'nonlocal dispersal' (where organisms or infections can jump rather than only diffuse to neighboring locations) to understand epidemic spread, predator-prey interactions, and wave-like propagation patterns in environments that change over time or space. The research is mathematically driven, aiming to establish theoretical results (such as thresholds and wave speeds) with applications to epidemiology and ecology.

Publication output has been relatively steady over the past decade, with a notable increase in the most recent two years (2024-2025) compared to earlier years.
