Dr. Naveen K. Vaidya is a full Professor of Mathematics at San Diego State University (SDSU). Before joining SDSU, he has obtained experience of assistant professorship at University of Missouri - Kansas City, and postdoctoral research at Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico and Western University, Canada. He received PhD in Applied Mathematics and M.Sc. in Industrial and Applied Mathematics from York University, Canada. He has also received M.Sc., B.Sc. and B.Ed. degrees from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. Dr. Vaidya's research interests include applied mathematics, with specific areas of interest in mathematical biology (pathogen dynamics and immune systems, epidemiology, and ecology), mathematical and computational modeling, differential equations, dynamical systems, optimal control, biostatistics, and machine learning. Currently, his primary focus lies on developing models of human, animal and coral diseases, pathogen evolution, and their controls. He has published his research work in numerous peer-reviewed international journals.
