Profile
|
Overview: Dr Hafiz joined the School of Mathematical Sciences, USM, as a lecturer in 2016. He is a researcher working in the field of Mathematical Modelling. His research uses continuation and simulation methods to improve our predictions of species geographic distributions in nature. He is also interested in modelling the problems in engineering and other biological systems such as epidemiology and ecology. To address these problems, he employs deterministic models and stochastic individual-based models. He uses the techniques from differential equations, dynamical systems, numerical continuation and stochastic processes to develop mathematical and computational tools to answer a range of biologically inspired questions. |

Potential FYP/MSc/PhD projects
I am available to supervise motivated students, and especially welcome enquiries from well-prepared and enthusiastic candidates. Currently, I have several projects that would be suitable for final year, Masters or PhD students in mathematical modelling. In particular, for those who are interested to do research in dynamical systems and bifurcation theory, ecological dynamics and individual-based modelling.
I am also able to co-supervise projects in applied dynamics (particularly in biology and chemical engineering) and mathematics education. If you are interested in studying any of these (or if you have your own idea for a project), please get in touch with me for further details.
