DESCRIPTION:Smart strategies based on population control models with bi-sta
 ble dynamics\n\nIn 2018 our Department celebrated 10 years since Biomathem
 atics was initiated as a strategic research direction. During the decade\,
  through various activities\, we built expertise and also collaborative li
 nks with the School of Biological Sciences. A main achievement is that sin
 ce 2013 the Department hosts a DST/NRF Research Chair in Mathematical Meth
 ods and Models in Bioengineering and Biosciences. The areas of application
 s of our research are typically related to challenges Africa is facing. I 
 will discuss two such applications: (i) Mating disruption and mass male an
 nihilation technique for insect control. This modelling work relates to th
 e need to control the invasion of cossid moth (native species) into eucaly
 ptus (not native species) forestry plantations with strong negative impact
  on the industry. (ii) Sterile insect technique for control of mosquito po
 pulations. The work is linked to the Institute of Sustainable Malaria Cont
 rol at our University and is in collaboration with CIRAD at Reunion island
 \, France. From a mathematical point of view both models have bi-stable dy
 namics\, which allow for designing efficient control strategies using mini
 mal resources.\n
