    Dr. Xiaoying Han is a Professor of Mathematics at Auburn University. She serves as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Academic Director of the Rural Medicine Program in the College of Sciences and Mathematics, as well as Director of the Actuarial Program in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Her research focuses on deterministic and stochastic differential equations, nonautonomous and random dynamical systems, and their applications in the applied sciences. Dr. Han has co-authored four research monographs and published extensively in leading peer-reviewed mathematics journals. She also serves in senior editorial roles for several internationally recognized mathematics journals. She has been named to the Stanford/Elsevier World's Top 2% Scientists list and was selected for a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award in 2020. She has held the Marguerite Scharnagle Endowed Professorship and the Jack Brown Endowed Professorship at Auburn University. As an educator, she teaches courses ranging from calculus and actuarial science to graduate-level real analysis and applied mathematics. She is an Associate of the Society of Actuaries and has maintained continuous professional membership since 2012.
