Dr Frank de Hoog, a mathematical scientist with over 30 years' research and teaching experience, is the Research Director at CSIRO Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics.
Current activities
Dr de Hoog's role at CSIRO is to help set research directions and implement research at CSIRO Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics.
Dr de Hoog's main interests include applying mathematics to:
- modelling blast furnaces
- gravity separation
- alumina precipitation
- mill modelling
- roll coating
- structural vibrations
- coil handling
- financial risk.
Background
Dr de Hoog has worked closely with many industrial colleagues on industrial problems, mainly in the areas of mineral and industrial processing.
'CSIRO's work in solving problems for industry generates questions that feed back into theoretical development of mathematics,' says Dr de Hoog.
'Looking at real-world applications and feeding back into theory to develop the subject is something we hold as a guiding principle at CSIRO Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics.'
Dr de Hoog's work has involved extensive collaboration with colleagues at:
