Dr. Felicia Magpantay

Biography

Felicia Magpantay is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Queen's University. She holds a Ph.D. from McGill University, a M.Sc. from the University of Western Ontario, and a B.Sc. from Trent University. Her research interests encompass delay differential equations and state-dependent delay differential equations, focusing on numerical methods to approximate solutions. She is particularly engaged in mathematical modeling related to transient dynamics and the impacts of mass vaccination campaigns on disease systems. Her work addresses various complex systems, including ecological models where population dynamics are critical, particularly during periods of low biomass and post-management interventions. Additionally, she studies the modeling of infectious diseases, aiming to understand their spread in low-income countries. Through her contributions, Dr. Magpantay seeks to develop innovative methods in applied mathematics and scientific computing to tackle high-dimensional modeling challenges.
