Associate Professor Julius Osato Ehigie is a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, University of Lagos, Nigeria. He specializes in computational and applied mathematics, with core expertise in developing high-order numerical methods for oscillatory and fractional differential equations. Education: B.Sc. Mathematics, Lagos State University, 2006 M.Sc. Applied Mathematics, University of Lagos, 2009 Ph.D. Mathematics, University of Lagos, 2014 Research Interests: Ehigie’s research revolves around computational mathematics and scientific computing , focusing on fast, high-order accurate schemes such as Runge-Kutta and exponentially fitted integrators for periodic and oscillatory initial value problems. He applies these techniques to diverse areas including genetic regulatory systems, celestial mechanics, nonlinear atomic vibrations, air-pollution tracking models, and biological wave dynamics. His recent publications exhibit a clear trend toward exponential integrators and structure-preserving methods for highly oscillatory systems, with practical applications in engineering (pipe vibrations), biology (genetic circuits), and nanotechnology (nanolattice oscillations), underscoring an interdisciplinary blend of rigorous numerical analysis and real-world modelling. Scientific Awards & Fellowships: APSA Fellowship Award 2025 IMU-Simons African Fellowship Scholar 2022 EMS-Simons for Africa Scholar 2019 NAU-Postdoctor Fellowship Scholar 2015 Roles & Collaboration: He currently serves as Departmental Postgraduate Coordinator and founded the Numerical Analysis Research Clusters at the University of Lagos. His collaborative network spans the Departments of Mathematics at Southern Methodist University, University of Oxford, Nanjing Agricultural University, and Texas Tech University, as well as the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Lagos.
