Professor Cang Hui holds the prestigious South African Research Chair Initiative (SARChi) Chair in Theoretical & Physical Biosciences. His research focuses on developing theoretical frameworks and mathematical models to understand complex biological systems and ecological processes.
As a leader in theoretical biosciences, Prof. Hui combines principles from mathematics, physics, and biology to address fundamental questions in ecology and evolution. His interdisciplinary approach has led to significant contributions in areas such as spatial ecology, population dynamics, and biological invasions.
Through the SARChi Chair position, Prof. Hui leads research initiatives that bridge theoretical concepts with practical applications in conservation biology and ecosystem management, mentoring students and collaborating with researchers across disciplines to advance our understanding of biological systems through quantitative approaches.
