Biography
Gumel received B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Bayero University (Kano, Nigeria) and Brunel University (London, England), respectively.
He was a full professor in the Department of Mathematics, University of Manitoba, before becoming the C. Castillo-Chavez Professor of Mathematical Biology at Arizona State University in 2015 . He uses mathematical theories and methodologies to gain insights into the qualitative behaviour of non-linear dynamical systems arising from the mathematical modelling of phenomena in the natural and engineering sciences, with more emphasis on the transmission and control dynamics of human diseases of public health interest.
Gumel became a fellow of the African Academy of Sciences in 2009. He was made a fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Science in February 2010.
In 2014, Gumel became one of eight US-based scientists who signed a memorandum of understanding with seven Nigerian universities. The purpose of this pilot project is to facilitate scientific and research activities in Nigeria. He is also appointed as an extraordinary Professor at the University of Pretoria for 2015-2017.
