DR. MD. HAMIDUL ISLAM
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
Applied Mathematics

Education Summary  
M.Sc. (RU), PhD (QLD, Australia)
Research Interest  
I have always been intrigued by biological processes that are involved in ecology, immunology, and epidemiology. I devote myself to learning mathematical tools that help me better understand the mechanisms involved in these biological phenomena. Currently, I have expertise in mathematical modeling, stochastic modeling, stability and bifurcation theory, optimal control theory, data fitting, and machine learning.
