摘要
Mathematical modelling of engineering and biological systems constitutes a critical instrument for advancing sustainable development goals and stimulating technological innovation. Through the development of rigorous computational representations of complex, real-world processes, it enables accurate prediction of system behaviour, optimization of performance, and the design of innovative solutions that contribute to economic growth and improved societal well-being. The inherently interdisciplinary character of mathematical modelling fosters collaboration across domains, accelerates scientific discovery, and enhances global competitiveness in research and innovation. This work examines a broad spectrum of applications, emphasizing contemporary methodologies for addressing challenges, including thermal management in engineering systems via nanofluid dynamics and the efficient control of ecological and epidemiological processes impacting both human and plant populations.
演讲者介绍
Prof. Oluwole Daniel Makinde is an eminent Professor of Applied Mathematics and Computation with over 28 years of professorial experience in South African universities. He is currently affiliated with the Faculty of Military Science at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, and also acts as a visiting distinguished professor at several other universities. He previously held positions as Senior Professor and Chair of Postgraduate Studies at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (2008–2013) and Full Professor & Head of Applied Mathematics at the University of Limpopo (1998–2008). He earned a BSc (First-Class Honours) in Mathematics from Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria (1987), an MSc in Applied Mathematics from the same university, and a PhD in Applied Mathematics and Computations from the University of Bristol, UK (1996) under a Commonwealth scholarship.
Prof. Makinde has received numerous awards, including the African Union Kwame Nkrumah Continental Scientific Award (2011), the NRF T.W. Kambule Senior Researcher Award (2009/2010), the Nigerian National Honour MFR (2014), the Obada Prize for Distinguished International Researcher (2021), and the N’Guerekata Excellence in Mathematics International Award (2024). He is a Fellow of the International Academy of Physical Sciences (FIAPS, 2018) and the Nigerian Mathematical Society (2023). He serves as editor-in-chief of the African Journal of Industrial and Applied Mathematics and on the editorial board of several reputable journals. He has authored/edited over 13 advanced research textbooks and published over 750 research papers. According to Google Scholar, his current metrics are: H-index 88, citations 33,201, and i10-index 570. He is listed among the world’s top 2% scientists by Stanford University and Elsevier BV. He has supervised over 44 PhDs and 76 MSc candidates. He is currently Vice President of the African Mathematical Union for Southern Africa (2022–2026) and co-founder/Vice-President of the African Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ASIAM).
He is visiting BIMSA with a support from the "ICMRA Visiting Scholars Program".
