Dr. Kareem Elgindy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Sciences at Ajman University (AU), UAE, and a member of the university’s Nonlinear Dynamics Research Center (NDRC). He holds a Ph.D. in Applied and Computational Mathematics from Monash University, Australia, where his dissertation was nominated for the Mollie Holman Doctoral Medal. His earlier degrees include an M.Sc. in Scientific Computations and a B.Sc. in Mathematics with First Class Honours from Assiut University, Egypt, where he graduated as the top student in the Faculty of Science since 1957. His research centers on numerical analysis, numerical fractional calculus, fractional optimal control theory, mathematical biology, and nonlinear programming. He has authored more than 36 ISI journal publications along with two book chapters, and patent applications under active commercialization. He has held faculty positions at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Xiamen University Malaysia, and Assiut University, and was a recipient of the Fulbright Egyptian Visiting Scholar Award (hosted by California Institute of Technology (Caltech), USA). Dr. Elgindy serves as Editor for the International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Journal of Applied Mathematics, and Journal of Function Spaces, and is an Approved Expert on the UAE Research Map. A former member of the Australian Mathematical Society, he remains actively engaged in teaching, graduate supervision, curriculum development, and professional service, guided by a lifelong commitment to advancing mathematical education and research.
