Applied Mathematician | Lecturer | Researcher in Convex Analysis, Dynamical Systems & Mathematical Epidemiology
I am a dedicated applied mathematician with a PhD from Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology. My research spans convex and nonsmooth analysis, monotone operator theory, fractional-order dynamical systems, and mathematical epidemiology. Currently, I serve as Lecturer at UMMA University and continue part-time teaching at MMUST and Kaimosi Friends University.
My work integrates operator-based formulations, nonsmooth analysis, and convex optimization to address complex challenges in infectious disease modeling, resource allocation, and climate resilience. I actively supervise MSc students in applied mathematics and have published in leading journals including Wiley, Elsevier, and Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society.
Dr. Owade Kennedy Jackob is an accomplished applied mathematician with expertise in convex and nonsmooth analysis, monotone operator theory, fractional-order dynamical systems, and optimal control. His doctoral thesis developed a temperature-dependent fractional-order cholera model with vaccination, utilizing fixed-point theorems and operator theory.
Currently a Lecturer at UMMA University and Examination Coordinator, he has extensive teaching experience in differential equations, mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, and optimization. His current research includes a multiscale HIV/AIDS model quantifying community health promoter impact, which has been revised and resubmitted to Results in Control and Optimization (Elsevier).
Dr. Jackob holds professional memberships with the European Mathematical Society (2024-Present) and the Teachers Service Commission, Kenya (2017-2026). He has received multiple Certificates of Excellence in Reviewing from Wiley, Elsevier, and other publishers. He supervises MSc research in PDE-constrained problems (microplastic pollutants) and AI-driven flood prediction for climate resilience.
