Dr. Bo Qu (born November 26, 1962 at Nantong, Jiangsu Province and Ph D. from Napier University in 1999 in Edinburgh) was a researcher in UK, HKU and Australia and now is an advanced mathematics teacher in university, China. Her PhD research was the use of fractional Brownian motion in the modelling of the dispersion of contaminants in fluids. After half years work in Queen's University of Belfast on Irish Sea Modeling, she went to Hong Kong University, did hydraulic modeling for for Hong Kong Coastal water, especially the 1998 Hong Kong massive red tidals research using Delft 3D. She then went to Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia joined Environmental modeling group and did DMS research in Arctic Ocean. She then focused on the ecosystem research and using Genetic Algorithm on DMS model parameter calibrations. Her research interests including Polar Ecosystem research; Climate system GCM modeling, Hydraulic Modeling for coastal water and oceanic surface; Stochastic Modeling, especially particle tracking modeling using fractional Brownian motion.

Now she is university associate professor and teaching advanced mathematics for Chinese students and foreign students, at the same time, undertaking the national natural funding in China, coaching postgraduate students and undergraduate students to do the environmental modeling in Arctic Ocean.
