My full name is Woldegebriel “Assefa” Woldegerima. I am a newer faculty member as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at York University as of July 2021. Before my recruitment to York University, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Mathematical Models and Methods in Biosciences and Bioengineering Lab at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. I obtained my PhD in Mathematical Biology from the University of Buea, Cameroon in a collaboration with Lehigh University in the USA. I earned two master’s degrees: one from the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) with a master thesis in partial differential equations, and a second master of science degree from Addis Abeba University in Ethiopia in Functional Analysis. I have also worked as an Assistant professor at Mekelle University in Ethiopia, as a Predoctoral Research Associate at Lehigh University, as an Assistant Lecturer at the University of Pretoria, and as Teaching Assistant at AIMS. My research interests lie broadly in mathematical biology, applied differential equations, and data analysis in Python.
