应公司管理科学与物流系邀请，2016年6月7日，印度贾达沃普尔大学Priti Kumar Roy教授于下午来到主楼429会议室进行了题为“Escalating Role of Mathematics for Biodiesel Production from Management Perspective”的学术报告，报告会由公司管理科学与物流系王建才副教授主持。公司管理科学与物流系教师，以及管理科学与物流方向的博士生和硕士生20余人参加了此次报告会。
随着传统石化能源的逐渐枯竭，寻找可替代的生物能源成为当前的重要课题之一。农业研究发现，生物柴油是一种可再生的替代能源，而麻疯树可成为生物柴油的经济可靠来源。麻疯树对生产环境要求不高，荒地、沙地以及盐碱地都能种植，但这种树受到了害虫的侵蚀。本文中，作者尝试同时采用生物农药和化学农药来控制害虫的繁殖和生长。作者建立了偏微分方程模型研究了如何同时考虑生态保护和生产管理来优化生物柴油生产。模型的解析和数值结果指出了生物柴油的经济有效生产方式。报告会上，Priti Kumar Roy教授与同学们积极互动，就报告中的问题进行了深入的讨论，并引导同学们进行思考，同学们踊跃提问，Priti Kumar Roy教授都悉心的一一作答。
Priti Kumar Roy教授简介：
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.
