Profile
Dr. Joahua Kiddy Kwasi Asamoah is an applied mathematician. His research approach is characterised by developing models that balance realism and tractability, drawing upon insights from mathematics, statistics, and computational techniques. He uses ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, optimal control theory, fractional derivatives, and environmental factors to gain insights into the qualitative behaviour of nonlinear dynamical systems arising from the mathematical modelling of phenomena in the natural sciences, with an emphasis on the transmission dynamics and control of human and animal diseases of public health and socio-economic interest.
He is committed to producing robust and actionable solutions that transcend disciplinary boundaries. He has been involved in the mathematical study of the spread, control, transition dynamics, and social consequences of diseases such as Heartwater, Rabies, Q fever, gonorrhoea, bacterial meningitis, COVID-19, Zika, Ebola, malaria, dengue, maize streak virus disease, HIV, listeriosis, measles, Marburg, Nipah virus infection, and cholera.
He is a reviewer for over 25 internationally accredited journals. He has co-authored 73 Scopus-indexed research articles, of which 71 of the publications are indexed in Web of Science.
Specifically, his research and teaching work is remarkably interdisciplinary, at the intersection of the mathematical, natural, engineering, and social sciences.
