Biography

Lukman Adewale Folaranmi is presently an esteemed Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of North Dakota, USA. In this role, he continues to contribute his expertise and passion for mathematics to both his students and the academic community, further solidifying his reputation as a distinguished scholar and educator. Previously, Lukman Adewale Folaranmi served as a distinguished senior lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Medical Sciences in Nigeria. In addition to his primary role, he held a concurrent appointment in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, underscoring his versatile expertise. He also had the honor of serving as the Pioneer Director for the Centre of Health Metrics and Data Science at the University of Medical Sciences. In this pivotal role, he played a pivotal part in advancing the intersection of mathematics, statistics, and healthcare, driving innovative research and shaping the future of healthcare data analysis.

His academic impact extends far and wide, with a remarkable portfolio of over a hundred peer-reviewed articles, published both locally and internationally in high-impact journals. An impressive sixty-six of these articles are indexed in Scopus, attesting to the depth and quality of his research contributions. Lukman's scholarly achievements are underscored by his recognition as one of Nigeria's top 500 authors in terms of Scholarly Output from 2019 to the present, according to SciVal. Lukman's commitment to advancing his field is further exemplified by his role as a respected reviewer for leading journals in mathematics and statistics. He has also had the privilege of being a research laureate at the Henri Poincare Institute in Paris, France, where he delved into the Mathematics of Climate and Environment during a sponsored trimester by IHP-CIMPA. Additionally, Lukman was honoured as a recipient of the 2020 IMU-Simons Africa Fellowship, which enabled him to embark on a research visit to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Florida International University. His global research collaborations took him to the Department of Probability and Statistics at Eotvos Lorand University in Hungary, where he served as a research fellow from December 2021 to May 2022, thanks to a prestigious Coimbra Scholarship. Lukman's dedication extends beyond his academic pursuits, as he actively participates in the SPARKLE project, generously sponsored by the Ford Foundation. The project, based at the Centre for Adolescent Health and Development within the School of Public Health at the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED) in Ondo City, Nigeria, underscores his commitment to impactful research.
