Wandi Ding joined the faculty of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Middle Tennessee State University as Assistant Professor in August 2007. Dr. Ding received her Ph.D. degree in Applied Mathematics in 2006 from The University of Tennessee - Knoxville (UTK), performing her research on optimal control of ODEs/PDEs with applications to populations, diseases and natural resource management. She received her M.S. degree in Applied Mathematics from Ocean University of China in 2001, and her B.S. degree in Mathematics Education from Normal College of Qingdao University, China, in 1998.


Dr. Ding has been working with Drs. Suzanne Lenhart and Louis Gross on optimal control of spatial ecology and natural resource management. See the Grid Computing Project for Ecological Modeling and Spatial Control. She conducts research on fishery harvesting (Cod, generic fishery), rabies in raccoons, Lyme disease in ticks, native-invasive species competition (cottonwood and salt cedars) and biological pest control. See Research for details.


Dr. Ding is a member of SIAM, AMS, MAA, SMB, AWM, Phi Kappa Phi, RMA and AAUP.

Dr. Ding is a referee for Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, Optimal Control Applications and Methods, Natural Resouce Modeling, Journal of Biological Systems, Journal of Biological Dynamics, Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, International Journal of Biomathematics and Pearson Education.
