Kailash C. Patidar

Kailash C. Patidar is a Professor of Applied Mathematics whose primary appointment is at the University of the Western Cape (South Africa), where he has been based since 2006. Previously he held faculty roles at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (2001–2010) and shorter visiting or research positions at Western University (Canada), University of Pretoria, and Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (Germany).

His research agenda centres on the design and analysis of robust numerical methods for complex mathematical models, with particular emphasis on singularly perturbed differential equations, stochastic fractal processes, convection-diffusion phenomena, and mathematical oncology. By integrating rigorous mathematical theory with efficient computational techniques, Prof. Patidar bridges the gap between abstract analysis and practical applications in finance and biology.

Across more than 100 peer-reviewed publications spanning two decades, his work repeatedly addresses layer phenomena, adaptive grids, non-standard finite-difference schemes, and high-order convergence. Recent outputs focus on magnetohydrodynamic flows and tumour-immune interaction models, evidencing a deliberate expansion into multi-disciplinary modelling.

Scientific sponsorship has been provided by leading agencies including the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, National Institutes of Health, National Research Foundation (South Africa), Medical Research Council, Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sul Cancro, Taif University, Norges Forskningsråd, and others, underscoring strong international collaboration and cross-disciplinary impact.

While no specific doctoral students are listed in the supplied material, Prof. Patidar’s extensive co-authorship network and sustained grant activity imply active supervision and mentoring of postgraduate researchers.
