Biography

Akif Ibragimov obtained his Master's degree in Mathematics in 1975 from the Azerbaijan Oil Academy. He also interned at the Department of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics (CMC) of Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) in 1974 and 1975 and one year later, in June 1976 Akif defended his PhD thesis at the CMC Department of MSU. During the next 10 years his research was focused on the Qualitative Theory of Partial Differential Equations and in 1985 he defended his dissertation at the Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, and obtained the degree Doctor of Science in Mathematics.Since then his research interests diversified; he worked at several academics and industrial positions in Russia, Azerbaijan and USA. From 2000-2004 he was a Visiting Professor at Texas A&M University, and Research Scientist at Knowledge Based Systems in College Station. Akif joined Texas Tech in September 2004. His research interests cover broad areas of applied mathematics including fluid flow in porous media, mathematical modeling in bio-medicine, fluid structure interaction, and image processing.
