About me (Ananta Acharya)

I currently serve as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU). Prior to this, I completed postdoctoral research in the Mathematics and Statistics Department at Utah State University (USU). At USU, I actively participated in the Mathbio-research group and the Applied Math-Education research group.

I earned my Ph.D. in Computational Mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) in August 2023, under the supervision of Dr. Ratnasingham Shivaji. Before joining UNCG, I completed both my Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) and Master of Arts (M.A.) degrees in Mathematics at Tribhuvan University, Nepal.

My research centers on Differential Equations, particularly Nonlinear Elliptic Boundary Value Problems, and Mathematical Ecology. I focus on steady-state reaction-diffusion equations that model population dynamics, with a special interest in the effects of boundary conditions and external environmental hostility. My work emphasizes exploring positive solutions to these equations where the boundary and equation parameters interact.

Alongside research and teaching, I have been instructing various undergraduate-level mathematics courses, including hybrid and online formats, since 2010. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing table tennis and traveling to new places.
