Biography

Dr Indranil Ghosh is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Mathematical Sciences at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø, Malaysia. He completed his Ph.D. in Mathematical Sciences in December 2025 at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø, where his research focused on optimal control of fractional-order infectious disease models using advanced gradient-based optimization techniques. He obtained his Master of Science in Engineering in January 2022 from the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), where he developed a Modified New Iterative Method (MNIM) for solving linear and nonlinear differential equations with improved computational efficiency. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics (First Class Honours) from West Bengal State University, India.

With over five years of research experience in applied mathematics, Dr Ghosh has developed a strong research profile in fractional calculus, optimal control theory, numerical analysis, and mathematical epidemiology. He has authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in Scopus- and ISI-indexed journals, contributing to the advancement of computational and analytical methods for complex dynamical systems.

His recent research includes the development of novel discrete-time, time-delay optimization algorithms and high-performance numerical techniques for fractional-order systems, particularly in infectious disease modeling. His work demonstrates improved computational efficiency and accuracy, with applications in real-world systems and healthcare optimization, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being).

Dr Ghosh’s research interests include fractional differential equations, optimal control, time-delay systems, numerical simulations, mathematical modeling of complex dynamical systems, and the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for analyzing and optimizing nonlinear dynamic processes.

In addition to his research, Dr Ghosh has contributed extensively to academic and institutional activities, serving as a research assistant and teaching assistant, and actively participating in project proposal development and academic writing. He has also been involved in organizing international conferences and academic events, supporting collaborative research and knowledge dissemination.

He serves as a reviewer for international journals and has presented his work at several international conferences. His work reflects a strong commitment to advancing applied mathematics and developing innovative, data-driven solutions to complex scientific and engineering problems.
