Biography:

Professor Simon Mukwembi has over 19 years of experience in teaching Mathematics at various Universities across Africa. He is an NRF rated researcher, who has published over 45 articles solving old and new problems in his field of study – graph theory and its applications. Moreover, he is a Managing Editor of a leading international, DoE accredited journal, Utilitas Mathematica, where he uses his expertise to sieve research work, accepting only really good research findings. In addition, Professor Mukwembi has a strong record of community engagement. His activities range from being in charge of judges and judging at Science Expo to taking part in several projects aimed at consolidating High School Teachers’ content knowledge in Mathematics. His activities, in the administration of the university, range from the smallest to the biggest aspect of the work done by academics; from coordinating courses, being part of several university committees to being an Academic Leader.
