Professor
Dr. Yongwimon Lenbury was born
in Bangkok on August 23, 1952. Following
primary and secondary education in
Thailand, she went abroad to study
under the Columbo Plan Scholarship
and received a B.Sc. and an M.Sc.
in Applied Mathematics from the Australian
National University. She later received
a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Vanderbilt
University in the United States and
returned to the Department
of Mathematics, Faculty of Science,
Mahidol University to teach, conduct
research in dynamical modelling of
nonlinear systems in biology and medicine,
and guide students at both the undergraduate
and graduate levels. She was appointed
Professor of Mathematics in 1996.
From her research contributions,
she was meirtoriously given the Outstanding
Researcher Award in the field of Physical
Science and Mathematics from the National
Research Council in 1998.
Professor
Lenbury's research interests are
in the construction and analysis of
mathematical models of systems in
biology and medical science. Research
in dynamical modelling of physiological
processes such as the hormone cortisol
secretion system in normal man or
the electrical activity of the pancreatic
ß-cells has yielded a number
of publications in international journals.
Her future endeavor will be devoted
to the development of a strong team
of researchers in this common field
of interest. Since virtually all systems
that surround us are nonlinear, this
is still an open field where new methodologies
and discoveries can still be put forward,
yielding new and valuable insights
for the advancement of science and
technology.
