About the Lab

Professor Hyoung-Joo Hwang's research lab specializes in mathematical physics and applied analysis, focusing on kinetic theory, partial differential equations, and their applications to biological and physical systems. The lab investigates complex phenomena such as chemotaxis, Vlasov-Poisson dynamics, and inverse problems in epidemiological modeling, with an emphasis on rigorous mathematical analysis and asymptotic limits. Current research directions include the derivation of macroscopic models from kinetic equations, the study of long-time behavior and stability of solutions, and the development of interpretable machine learning models for real-world applications like bankruptcy prediction. The lab bridges theoretical mathematics with practical challenges in biology, medicine, and data science.

Explainability of Machine Learning Models for Bankruptcy Prediction

SJR Q1IEEE AccessOA

As the amount of data increases, it is more likely that the assumptions in the existing economic analysis model are unsatisfied or make it difficult to establish a new analysis model. Therefore, there has been increased demand for applying the machine learning methodology to bankruptcy prediction due to its high performance. By contrast, machine learning models usually operate as black-boxes but credit rating regulatory systems require the provisioning of appropriate information regarding credit

Global Solutions of Nonlinear Transport Equations for Chemosensitive Movement

A widespread phenomenon in moving microorganisms and cells is their ability to reorient themselves depending on changes of concentrations of certain chemical signals. In this paper we discuss kinetic models for chemosensitive movement, which also takes into account evaluations of gradient fields of chemical stimuli which subsequently influence the motion of the respective microbiological species. The basic type of model was discussed by Alt [J. Math. Biol., 9 (1980), pp. 147--177], [J. Reine Ang

Analysis of COVID-19 spread in South Korea using the SIR model with time-dependent parameters and deep learning

Abstract Mathematical modeling is a process aimed at finding a mathematical description of a system and translating it into a relational expression. When a system is continuously changing over time (e.g., infectious diseases) differential equations, which may include parameters, are used for modeling the system. The process of finding those parameters that best fit the given data from the system is called an inverse problem. This study aims at analyzing the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19)

On the existence of exponentially decreasing solutions of the nonlinear Landau damping problem
Hyung Ju Hwang, Juan J. L. Velázquez
SJR Q1Indiana University Mathematics JournalOA

In this paper we prove the existence of a large class of periodic solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson in one space dimension that decay exponentially as t -> infinity. The exponential decay is well known for the linearized version of the Landau damping problem and it has been proved in [4] for a class Of solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system that behaves asymptotically as free streaming solutions and are sufficiently flat in the space of velocities. The results in this paper enlarge the class of

Drift-diffusion limits of kinetic models for chemotaxis: A generalization
Hyung Ju Hwang, Ki‐Woon Kang, A F Stevens
SJR Q1Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - BOA

We study a kinetic model for chemotaxis introduced by Othmer, Dunbar, and Alt [23], which was motivated by earlier results of Alt, presented in [1], [2]. In two papers by Chalub, Markowich, Perthame and Schmeiser, it was rigorously shown that, in three dimensions, this kinetic model leads to the classical Keller-Segel model as its drift-diffusion limit when the equation of the chemo-attractant is of elliptic type [4], [5]. As an extension of these works we prove that such kinetic models have a m

Regularity for the Vlasov--Poisson System in a Convex Domain
Hyung Ju Hwang
SJR Q1SIAM Journal on Mathematical AnalysisOA

We consider the initial-boundary value problem in a convex domain for the Vlasov--Poisson system. Boundary effects play an important role in such physical problems that are modeled by the Vlasov--Poisson system. We establish the global existence of classical solutions with regular initial boundary data under the absorbing boundary condition. We also prove that regular symmetric initial data lead to unique classical solutions for all time in the specular reflection case.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions worldwide since March 2020. The experience of the 1918 influenza pandemic demonstrated that decreases in the infection rates of COVID-19 do not guarantee continuity of the trend. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop a precise spread model of COVID-19 with time-dependent parameters via deep learning to respond promptly to the dynamic situation of the outbreak and proactively minimize damage. METHODS: In this study, we inves
