The 78th La Trobe – Kyushu Joint Seminar on Mathematics for Industry will be held as follows:

Date & Time	Tuesday 16 September 2025, 12:00 – 13:00 (Japan time)
Zoom	https://latrobe.zoom.us/j/85956122333?jst=3
Speaker	Ada Yan (La Trobe University)
Title	Multi-species malaria modelling to improve policy and decision-making
Abstract	Mathematical models of infectious disease can be used to predict the effects of different treatments and thus inform policymaking. I will present the problem of malaria treatment in South East Asia, where the population dynamics of infection are complex due to interactions between different species of malaria parasites. I will present the development of agent-based models to capture these interactions, and statistical inference methods for estimating model parameters, including likelihood-based and likelihood-free methods.

This seminar series is a valuable opportunity for graduate students to get acquainted with the work of more experienced researchers in various mathematical fields. Undergraduate students are also welcome to join, as the talks are intended for non-experts, too. Regardless of your area of research, you can attend the seminar to expand your knowledge and get in touch with the latest developments in mathematics for industry.
