Hiroaki Kitano and AMSI Director Geoff Prince earlier this year

Hiroaki Kitano, Director of Japan’s Systems Biology Institute (SBI), is returning to Australia in his role as a Maths of Planet Earth Ambassador. The systems biology guru will join the RIKEN delegation and is also presenting public lectures in:

Melbourne on Monday 7 October 7 from 6pm

Sydney on Thursday 10 October with Robot soccer match & showcase from 5pm

In the same way that systems biology uses mathematics to model biological systems, mathematics can help us understand economic systems, climate change, medicine and design intelligent systems which respond to unpredictable environments.

In this talk Prof. Kitano will introduce a number of his projects including the international robot soccer tournament RoboCup, the deployment of open energy systems in Africa and how computational models are impacting drug discovery. He will then explain the vital role of mathematics in healthcare and global sustainability; why he feels mathematics should feed into strategic and policy decision.
