Fields of academic interests
Research interests
- The formulation in mathematical terms (generally as partial differential equations) of problems in continuum mechanics; studies of the well-posedness of such problems (especially Fibre Suspension Flows),
- Mathematical modelling of infectious diseases and its aspects in epidemiology: application of fuzzy set theory modeling uncertainties and fuzziness when a more realistic scenario is considered.
- Numerical Analysis: Application of Differential Transform Methods to solve nonlinear differential equations.
- The use of functional analysis techniques to prove wellposedness of such problems;
- Establishing existence, uniqueness and other qualitative features of solutions;
- Optimisation problems and the mean to solve these problems by numerical approach.
- Modelling of flow of fluids in human body.
- Computer Programming, Matlab and Java.
