 Dr
Frank de Hoog is a mathematical scientist with over 30 years research
and teaching experience. He is Research Director at CSIRO Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics .
Dr de Hoog’s role at CSIRO is to help set research directions and
implement research at CSIRO Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics .
‘Looking at real-world applications and feeding back
into theory to develop the subject is something we hold as a guiding
principle.’
Dr Frank de Hoog, Research Director, 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
He 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.’ said 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 .’
Professional engagements
Dr de Hoog has lectured at UCLA and ANU on Computational and Applied
Mathematics and has made a number of research contributions in areas
