Title: Mathematical Modeling and Developing Platforms for Environmental Assessment Scenarios

Abstract: The problem of environmental protection in practice requires studying mathematical models and building automated platforms that calculate the impact of different development scenarios on the environment and people's health. Faced with environmental degradation, several concepts are proposed, such as marine environmental carrying capacity (MECC) and river water environmental capacity (RWEC), which affirms the need to pay attention to waste issues and biochemical processes. In research, we have proposed a mathematical solution to these problems, which proposed a system that integrates mathematical models with databases considering chemical and biochemical reactions. Environmental pollution, especially PM2.5, is one of the leading causes of premature death. In this context, studies that have evaluated strategies to control and reduce air pollution are needed. Mathematical models are the primary tools to help make reasonable policies from an economic perspective. The damage caused by pollution to health and crops in the area has been quantified. The results of building an integrated system between mathematical models and databases by our group named HeBIS are introduced.

Biography: Dr. Long Bui is an Associate Professor at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam National University of Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM). He received a BS, MS degree (1985) and PhD in mathematics (1989) from Lomonosov Moscow State University in Mathematics. He interned at the Russian Academy of Sciences from 1997 to 1998 and defended a doctoral dissertation on mathematical modelling and experiments. His research fields are mathematical modelling, developing information platforms for environmental assessment scenarios for sustainable development, and the impact of climate change.
