In the same University, he obtained successively a Bachelor in Scientific Computation, and a Research Master in Mathematical Engineering. In keeping with his academic background, Prof. Fotsa is very interested in cross-cutting scientific activities that value mathematical and computer-based modeling, analysis, optimization and simulation tools. His PhD research focused on modeling, optimal control and observation of coffee berry disease dynamics. Prof. Fotsa is currently a associate professor at the National School of Agro-Industrial Sciences of the University of Ngaoundere. He is also the Head of the Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science at the Faculty of Science, University of Bertoua, Cameroon. Prof. Fotsa is the Head of the Mathematics and Computer Science Laboratory (LaMAIN) and the Head of the Operational Research and Decision Support Team (E-ROAD). He teaches theoretical and practical courses in computer science and programming, probability, statistics and experimental design, numerical methods, operational research and optimization, linear algebra and analysis, modeling of chemical reactors. In addition, he supervises students on agribusiness-related development aid topics (scheduling, maintenance and production management, waste management, food preservation). He also works with many national and international scientific partners on various issues in application. As part of the popularization of mathematics and their applications, Prof. Fotsa is since 2019 the President of the Amicale of Mathematicians and Computer scientists graduated from the University of Ngaoundere (AMID-UN). Since 2019, he has also been an active member of the management team of the SIAM chapter (Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics) of students from the University of Ngaoundere, where he has been president since its creation in 2014.
