DESCRIPTION:Title:Smart strategies based on population control models with 
 bi-stable dynamics\n\nAbstract: In 2018 our Department celebrated 10 years
  since Biomathematics was initiated as a strategic research direction. Dur
 ing the decade\, through various activities\, we built expertise and also 
 collaborative links with the School of Biological Sciences. A main achieve
 ment is that since 2013 the Department hosts a DST/NRF Research Chair in M
 athematical Methods and Models in Bioengineering and Biosciences. The area
 s of applications of our research are typically related to challenges Afri
 ca is facing. I will discuss two such applications: (i) Mating disruption 
 and mass male annihilation technique for insect control. This modelling wo
 rk relates to the need to control the invasion of cossid moth (native spec
 ies) into eucalyptus (not native species) forestry plantations with strong
  negative impact on the industry. (ii) Sterile insect technique for contro
 l of mosquito populations. The work is linked to the Institute of Sustaina
 ble Malaria Control at our University and is in collaboration with CIRAD a
 t Reunion island\, France. From a mathematical point of view both models h
 ave bi-stable dynamics\, which allow for designing efficient control strat
 egies using minimal resources.\n
