Biography

Dr. K. M. Ariful Kabir is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). He earned his Ph.D. in Epidemiology and Evolutionary Game Theory from Kyushu University, Japan, and holds an MPhil from BUET and M.S. and B.Sc. (Hons.) degrees in Applied Mathematics from the University of Dhaka.Dr. Kabir's research focuses on the mathematical modeling of infectious diseases, evolutionary game theory, and complex systems, with applications spanning public health, ecology, and cancer dynamics. He has published over 85 peer-reviewed articles, including over 50 in Q1-ranked journals such as Nature, Royal Society, Elsevier, and APS. Recognized among the top 2% of scientists globally by Elsevier and Stanford University in 2023 and 2024, he has received multiple research grants from UNESCO, UGC, CASR-BUET, and RISE-BUET.Alongside his academic pursuits, Dr. Kabir actively contributes to national educational initiatives, serving as Secretary of the National Undergraduate Mathematics Olympiad and Assistant Provost of Ahsan Ullah Hall at BUET.
