I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at RIT, where I specialize in mathematical biology, focusing on the use of mathematical modeling, ordinary and partial differential equations, and numerical analysis to address and propose solutions for the control of diseases that threaten both human and animal populations. My research combines theoretical and computational approaches to understanding complex biological systems, with a particular emphasis on disease dynamics.
I earned my PhD in Mathematics from Howard University, where I was mentored by Abdul-Aziz Yakubu and Avner Friedman. Before joining RIT, I served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of British Columbia, as well as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS). I have also conducted regular research visits at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI).
I am a proud alum of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), where I completed the program in South Africa in 2012 under the guidance of Jacek Banasiak. Prior to AIMS, I obtained my M.S. and B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Buea in Cameroon, where I was advised by Gideon A. Ngwa.
