Levin Mathematical Computational Modeling Science Center at Arizona State University (ASU) –Tempe and serves as an Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change. Dr. Mubayi is also Co-Director of Mathematical Theoretical Biology Institute (MTBI) since 2012.

Dr. Mubayi holds affiliations at multiple organizations including at the Prevention Research Center, PIRE, Berkeley; the National Alliance for Doctoral Studies in the Mathematical Sciences, Purdue University; Intercollegiate Biomathematics Alliance (IBA); and the Barrett Honors College at ASU. He held a Gates Foundation’s and an NIH’s fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic and the Case Western Reserve University Center for Global Health, respectively. Dr. Mubayi is a recipient of 2009 National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism’s Junior Investigator Award.

He is an applied and computational mathematical scientist whose research program is driven by the quantitative and qualitative modeling of problems of interest to the public health or social sciences communities. He has extensive experience in the successful development of strong mathematical sciences research programs. He has been an investigator on several federal research grants through the NSF “Mathematical Biology and Population and Community Ecology Programs” and the National Institute of Health (NIH) “Health Behavior Oncology Research and Science.”

His recent research includes development into new tools against controlling neglected tropical diseases like Visceral Leishmaniasis, Chagas, and Lymphatic Filariasis as well as to understand issues in human social development and interactions leading to complex societal problems. Recently published research in Addiction, Journal of Infectious Diseases, PLoS, Journal of Theoretical Biology, and Mathematical Population Studies.
