### Biography

Professor Patidar received his PhD (Mathematics) in 2002 from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur -- a premier higher educational institute in India. He visited the universities of Tübingen (Germany) and Pretoria (South Africa) for his post-doctoral studies. Subsequently, he joined the University of the Western Cape (South Africa) in 2006 as a senior lecturer and currently holds the position of Senior Professor of Mathematics. He received a C2 rating (established researcher) from the South African National Research Foundation (NRF) for the period 2010-2015 and again for 2016-2021. Professor Patidar was the principal investigator for the grants: NRF Focus Area Programme in Mathematics (2007-2008), NRF Competitive Programme for Rated Researchers (2010-2012, 2014-2016 and 2017-2019) and NRF Programme Knowledge Interchange and Collaboration (2010, 2016).

Professor Patidar’s research involves mathematical methods and scientific computing for application problems that arise from the interactions between natural and life sciences as well as those from the engineering domain. His research involves analytical investigations and numerical experiments using finite difference, finite element, spline approximation and spectral methods for parameter sensitive differential models. He published more than 90 research articles (in journals of international standing), 6 invited book chapters, 11 papers in the proceedings of international conferences and 5 extended abstracts. He graduated 17 PhD and 16 MSc students under his supervision and currently supervising several students.
