Mahadevananda Mahavidyalaya | India
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Krishna Pada Das is a distinguished academic with a robust background in mathematical biology, particularly in the field of population dynamics and mathematical modeling. He obtained his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mathematical Science from Calcutta University, Kolkata, before completing his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, under the guidance of Prof. Joydev Chattopadhyay of the Indian Statistical Institute. His doctoral research, which focused on the nonlinear dynamics of predator-prey interactions with disease in the population, laid the foundation for his continued work in mathematical modeling of ecological and epidemiological systems.Dr. Das has held various academic positions throughout his career, starting as a Junior Research Fellow at the Indian Statistical Institute in the Agricultural and Ecological Research Unit, where he worked from 2006 to 2008. He was later promoted to Senior Research Fellow until 2010. His academic career at Mahadevananda Mahavidyalaya, Kolkata, began in 2010, where he served as an Assistant Professor and was later promoted to Associate Professor in 2022. His academic positions have allowed him to make significant contributions to both research and teaching in the field of applied mathematics, especially in mathematical ecology and epidemiology.His primary research interests lie in mathematical modeling for biological systems, with a particular focus on the dynamics of populations in ecological and epidemiological settings. His work spans a variety of complex systems, including predator-prey models, disease transmission dynamics, plankton population dynamics, and eco-epidemiology. Dr. Das uses advanced mathematical techniques, including ordinary differential equations, stochastic processes, delay differential equations, and fractional calculus, to model the behavior of these systems. His current research explores HIV infection models, epidemiological models, and eco-epidemiological systems, with an emphasis on understanding the effects of factors such as time delays, diffusion, spatio-temporal dynamics, and the role of randomness in these systems.
