CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS SUMMER INSTITUTE IN ECOINFORMTICS
Thomann brings in expertise in applied mathematics and mathematical modeling, specifically in using analytical and probabilistic tools, to study problems of interest in physical, biological and social sciences. Thomann has collaborated with researchers in areas of applied mathematics such us rarefied gases, semiconductor modeling, fluid flows, financial mathematics and natural resource management. As a participant of this summer institute, Thomann will teach and introduce students to research problems using applied probability to model questions arising in resource management, ground water hydrology and river basin hydrology.
