Kamrun Nahar Keya is a graduate student in applied mathematics at Arizona State University, specializing in mathematical modeling and focusing on ecological systems. Her academic journey began with a B.S. degree from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, where a passion for mathematical theory led her to pursue advanced studies. At ASU, she has become an integral part of the research community, working on projects like data-driven modeling of Tribolium beetles.
In addition to her research, Kamrun is deeply committed to education and has gained extensive experience as a Teaching Assistant (TA) at ASU. Kamrun has served as a TA for a diverse range of courses, including MATLAB and Graduate Qualifying courses such as Applied Analysis and Partial Differential Equations. In these roles, Kamrun has been instrumental in helping graduate students grasp complex mathematical concepts, from the practical applications of MATLAB in computational tasks to the rigorous theories underlying advanced topics like partial differential equations.
Kamrun's research has been published in Springer and Elsevier indexed journals, and she has presented her findings at several notable conferences, including ICMA-VII and AWiSM2023. Her contributions have provided valuable insights into the field of mathematical biology, particularly in the areas of ecological modeling and population dynamics.
Beyond her academic achievements, Kamrun is actively engaged in the mathematical community. She is involved in professional organizations such as the Association for Women in Mathematics, where she serves as the president of the ASU chapter. This role allows her to advocate for greater representation and support for women in the field of mathematics.
In her personal life, Kamrun enjoys a range of creative and intellectual pursuits, including reading Sci-Fi and Thrillers, cooking, and painting. These hobbies provide a well-rounded balance to her rigorous academic work.
Looking ahead, Kamrun is eager to expand her research into Computational Math. She aims to apply mathematical solutions to real-world challenges, continuing her journey to make a meaningful impact through her work.
- Anticipated: PhD in Applied Mathematics, Arizona State University.
- M.A. in Applied Mathematics, Arizona State University.
- M.S. in Mathematics, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
- B.S. in Mathematics, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
I have been working in Mathematical Modeling in Biology, which is one of the uprising research topic. My specialty is population modeling or ecological modeling. Initially I started working with competition model, for example, two species (e.g. tiger and lion) competing with each other for limited resource of food, domain capacity etc. We even consider limitation of fertilization and studied their existence-persistence in the environment.
My current project is data-driven modeling of Tribolium Beetles, where our team collaborates with ecologists to adapt a model based on experimental data to understand Tribolium confusum's biology.
