Dr. Hong studied mathematical modeling of circadian rhythms as a graduate student, and learned how to apply genetic and molecular biological approaches to problems of cellular regulation, using Neurospora crassa, a tractable experimental system for circadian biology. As a young investigator who has crossed disciplines from mathematical biology to genetics and molecular biology, Dr. Hong believes that such interdisciplinary approaches will lead to the innovative therapies of the future. He joined the Department of Molecular & Cellular Physiology in April, 2010.Â

Roger Chalkley
Professor Emeritus, Mathematical Sciences
    "Readers acquainted with the differential calculus and the concept of a polynomial can effortlessly acquire an excellent perspective about invariants for differential equations by using a system of computer algebra to interact with the examples in Chapters 16 and 17.
   During the years 1879-1889, there were differential equations for which mathematicians found remarkable combinations of the coefficients that possessed an invariant character under unrestricted transformations. In fact, specific examples of basic relative invariants as the most interesting kind were discovered by E. Laguerre in 1879, G.-H. Halphen in 1880-1884, A. R. Forsyth in 1888, and P. Appell in 1889. However, there was little progress after 1889 about the principal problems until the subject was completely redeveloped during 1989-2013. A thorough explanation for this remarkable situation is given in Chapters 15 and 18. Â
    All of the basic relative invariants are now explicitly known for numerous types of differential equations and the main problems have now been solved. This monograph provides details about these developments and gives numerous illustrations to show how the relative invariantss of a given weight are expressible in terms of the basic relative invariants. Â
    Roger Chalkley was awarded the degree of Ch.E. in 1954 at the University of Cincinnati where he also earned an A.M. (mathematics) in 1956 and a Ph.D. (mathematics) in 1958. His Ph.D. thesis advisor, Professor Arno Jaeger, had a deep interest in the subject of differential algebra as developed by J. F. Ritt and E. R. Kolchin. That algebraic viewpoint is evident throughout the current monograph as well as his two Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society that were published as Numbers 744 in 2002 and Number 888 in 2007."
    My research is unusual because, instead of fragmenting mathematics by rushing lots of short papers into publication, I have avoided superficiality by concentrating on difficult problems whose solutions enabled me to completely redevelop and unify the subject of invariants for ordinary differential equations in a series of four monographs published in 2002, 2007, 2014, and 2018 consisting respectively of 204 + xi pages, 365 + xii pages, 145 + xvIII pages, and 190 + xi pages.Â
    Previous research on that subject was done primarilly during the years 1879-1889 by Edmond Laguerre, Georges-Henri Halphen, Andrew Forsyth, and Paul Appell. They had presented isolated examples of considerable interest. In particular, G.-H. Halphen was awarded the Grand Prize of the French Academy of Sciences in 1880 for his research about invariants. Â
    My interest in that subject began in 1957 when I read some of the 1879-1889 publications. Then, it became compelling when I noticed a lack of general results and became aware of the numerous negative efforts after 1889 to advance the subject. Thus, I was truly fortunate to have found a fascinating area for research and to have had sufficient time to develop it.   Â
