Prof. George O. Lawi

Prof. Lawi is an Associate Professor of Biomathematics at Masinde Muliro University of Science & Technology (MMUST), Kenya. He is currently serving as the Academic Leader in Applied Mathematics at MMUST and is a member of the Departmental Graduate Studies Committee. Prof.Lawi is also a Member of African STACK Leadership, co-founder of African STACK Hub hosted at MMUST, Co-Pi CoNeMEsSA (Competence Network on Mathematical Epidemiology in sub-Saharan Africa) and the founding Director for CEASR (Center of Excellence in Applied Science Research).

Prof.Lawi has extensive research experience in Mathematical modeling spanning across Epidemiological dynamics, Ecological systems and Chemical Reaction Networks. He has supervised over 22 postgraduate students (PhD and MSc) and contributed to curriculum development and review for several universities in Kenya. His current research activities include multiscale modeling and optimal control of infectious diseases. As a Mathematics Educator, Prof.Lawi is dedicated to advancing teaching, learning and assessment through innovative and context-sensitive approaches. He has a strong commitment to integrating technology in Mathematics(STEM) education, particularly within low-resource learning environments. His current work focuses on the development of teaching and learning materials available through open source spaces, such as the System for Teaching and Assessment using  Computer algebra Kernel (STACK).

Prof.Lawi also serve as an External Examiner (Thesis examination and exam moderation) in Applied Mathematics for Moi University, Karatina University, Laikipia University, Egerton University and University of Kabianga. Outside of the Universities, he serves as Patron and mentor to over 500 youths at ACK All Saints Parish Maseno and the Chairman of the Finance Committee at ACK All Saints Parish Maseno. Currently,he also serves as the Vice Chairperson of Trinity Fellowship (Kenya), Chairman Board of Management for Faith Ventures Christian Academy, Trinity Fellowship (Kenya) and Chairman of the Academic standards,Quality and Environment Committee of BOM for Kuoyo Mixed Secondary School.
