Meet Our Speakers
Prof. Dr. Oluwole D Makinde
Faculty of Military Science, Stellenbosch University, Saldanha, South Africa;
Oluwole Daniel Makinde is an eminent Professor of Applied Mathematics and Computation with over 26 years of professorial experience at South African universities. He is currently affiliated with the Faculty of Military Science at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. Additionally, he acts as a distinguished visiting professor for several other universities within and outside of the African continent. Before joining the Faculty of Military Science at Stellenbosch University, Professor Makinde held the position of Senior Professor and Chair of Postgraduate Studies at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa, from 2008 to 2013. He also served as Full Professor and Head of the Applied Mathematics Department at the University of Limpopo, South Africa, from 1998 to 2008.
Prof. Dr. Christopher C Tisdell
School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia;
Tisdell is currently focusing on the Navier–Stokes equation and associated fluid flow models. Despite significant interest in such problems, a firm mathematical basis is yet to be fully developed. Tisdell hopes to advance our understanding by creatively connecting ideas from nonlinear analysis with problems of fluid flow.
Tisdell is also well known for leading one of Australia’s earliest YouTube channels (https://www.youtube.com/@DrChrisTisdell) dedicated to mathematics, now in its sixteenth year of operation, and for his recent invention, “Tisdell’s Geometry Tool”, which is a safer and more accurate replacement for the traditional compass (https://mathomat.com.au/pages/introducing-tgt).
Prof. Dr. Samuel O Adesanya
Department of Mathematical Sciences, Redeemer’s University, Ede, Nigeria;
Professor Samuel O. Adesanya is affiliated with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Redeemer's University, Nigeria. He obtained his BSc and MSc degrees from Olabisi Onabanjo University, Nigeria, in 1998 and 2007, respectively. He received his PhD in Mathematics from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Nigeria, in 2012. He is the current head of the department. His research includes combustible non-Newtonian fluid flow, heat, and mass transfer. He is also interested in the development of numerical and computational techniques for solving nonlinear differential equations arising from nonlinear chemical kinetics. He has published articles in his chosen research area and attended international conferences.

Organizer
The webinar organized by the Editorial Team of Mathematics, facilitated by Ms Ljiljana Spasojević, was successfully held on the 29th of November 2024 and attracted an audience from different parts of the continent. The theme for the webinar was “Temperature Increase Effects on Fluids”, and was part the Special Issue “Analysis and Applications of Mathematical Fluid Dynamics”. The publication was guest-edited by Prof. Dr. Ramoshweu S. Lebelo of the Vaal University of Technology, Vanderbijlpark, South Africa, and he was given the opportunity to chair the webinar, which was graced by the outstanding presentations of well-established researchers in applied mathematics, namely,
1. Prof. Dr. Oluwole D. Makinde of Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, South Africa. Topic: “Impact of Thermal Buoyancy on Nanofluid Heat Transfer Enhancement Mechanism in a Microchannel-A Mathematical Model”.
2. Prof. Dr. Christopher C. Tisdell of University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Topic: “Improved viscous flow between expanding or contracting permeable walls”.
3. Prof. Dr. Samuel O. Adesanya of Redeemer’s University, Ede 232101, Nigeria. Topic: “Spectral study of combustible third grade fluid flow through a deformable porous medium”.
The event was scheduled for two hours and contributed to computational fluid dynamics research.
