Binod Pant

Binod Pant earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD), where his research focused on the intersection of mathematics and biology. His work involves utilizing mathematical theory (e.g., bifurcation and asymptotic analyses), data analytics, and computational methods to gain insight into the transmission dynamics and control of emerging and re‑emerging infectious diseases of public health importance. Among other research areas, Dr. Pant's ongoing work focuses on (a) incorporating behavior change into mathematical models, (b) structural identifiability and uncertainty quantification of epidemiological models, and (c) using mechanistic models to gain mathematical insight into the transgenic fungus's ability to control malaria mosquitoes.
