Meet Our Speakers
Prof. Sujit Ghosh
Department of Statistics, NC State University, USA.;
Professor Sujit Kumar Ghosh is currently a Professor in the Department of Statistics at North Carolina State University (NCSU). He has over 30 years of experience in conducting, applying, evaluating, and documenting statistical analysis of biomedical and environmental data. Prof. Ghosh has supervised over 48 doctoral graduate students. He was awarded D.D. Mason Faculty award in 2023 and Cavell Brownie Mentoring Award in 2014 by the Statistics department at NCSU. He has published over 145 refereed journal articles in the various areas of statistics with applications in biomedical and environmental sciences, econometrics, and engineering. In the year 2019, he co-authored a book titled "Bayesian Statistical Methods”, which has been adapted as textbook by many instructors. Prof. Ghosh has given over 200 invited lectures and seminars at national and international meetings. In recent years, Prof. Ghosh has contributed significantly in developing statistical models and associated methodologies for various inferential problems that are subject to shape constraints.

Prof. Graham Hall
Institute of Mathematics, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK.;
Prof. Graham Hall was a student at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and spent two further years there as the Earl Grey Memorial Research Fellow in mathematics. He then became a staff member in mathematics at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, becoming a professor there in 1996. He was elected a fellow of The Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1995 and of The Royal Astronomical Society in 2004. He has published about 180 papers in research journals and delivered over 200 invited lectures in Europe, North and South America, Asia, The Middle East, and Australasia. Prof. Hall has supervised 20 PhD students, all successfully, and many other research students at the levels of masters and German Diplom, and has also welcomed many PhD students visiting from overseas, as well as researchers in Aberdeen. He is a founding member of The Minkowski Institute, has been invited to give several “Petrov lectures” at The University of Kazan, Russia, and a “Boeing Corporation lecture” at The University of Wichita, USA. His main areas of interest are Classical Mathematical General Relativity Theory and Classical Differential Geometry. He has received many research grants for this work, and is on the Editorial Board of several research journals. He was an invited contributor to the “Encyclopaedia of Mathematics” (Kluwer) and to the “Biographical Encyclopaedia of Astronomers”—edited by Thomas Hockey (Springer)—with the second edition of this latter work receiving the Donald E Osterbrock book prize for 2017. Lastly, Prof. Hall is the author of the books “Symmetries and Curvature Structure in General Relativity” (World Scientific, 2004) and “Four-Dimensional Manifolds and Projective Structure” (Taylor and Francis, 2023).
To celebrate International Day of Mathematics 2025, MDPI is hosting a special webinar to bring researchers together, foster collaboration, and highlight the crucial role that mathematics plays in driving breakthroughs across all disciplines. This event aims to raise awareness of how the exchange of ideas and findings enhances our understanding and application of mathematical principles in real-world innovations.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you at the International Day of Mathematics Webinar 2025. Please find an up-to-date outline of the webinar below.
