Science

Field

COMPUTATIONAL MATHEMATICS

Project Name

Advanced Mathematical Modelling and Stability Analysis of Vector-Borne Diseases with Applications to Dengue Transmission

KPI

Science Field

Produce two (2) publications as the First Author in ISI Web of Science indexed journals (Q1/Q2 in the Journal Citation Report (JCR) only).

Non-Science Field

Produce two (2) publications as the First Author in Scopus indexed journals (Q1/Q2 in SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) or JCR). Publications in JCR journals are highly encouraged.

•FPD publications/KPIs will be considered as additional KPIs to the existing KPIs of the Supervisor set by the University.

This KPI is the primary criterion for evaluation and consideration for reappointment (if applicable).

Criteria

•Awarded a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree.

•Good academic merit and research output in the last three (3) years, particularly in publications:

Science Field

Two (2) publications in journals indexed in the ISI Web of Science (Q1/Q2 in the Journal Citation Report (JCR) only) with one (1) of the publications as the First Author.

OR One (1) Patent.

Non-Science Field

Two (2) publications in journals indexed by Scopus with one (1) of the publications as the First Author. Preference is given to publications in JCR.

•The field of appointment is open but must be relevant to the supervisor identified according to the school/center of excellence.

Notes

This research focuses on developing and analysing mathematical models for infectious diseases, particularly dengue transmission dynamics. The project integrates: Nonlinear dynamical systems Stability analysis (local & global) Numerical methods for stiff differential equations Data-driven modelling and simulation Integration of environmental and socioeconomic factors The aim is to support evidence-based public health strategies through predictive modelling and computational analysis.
