Bootan Mohammed Rahman
Assistant Professor
Overview
Bootan Rahman is currently Assistant Professor in Mathematics at University of Kurdistan, Hewlêr. He has previously held positions that include, Mathematics lecturer at the Department of Engineering and Mathematics, ISC, University of Sussex; Associate Tutor at the Department of Mathematics, University of Sussex; Assistant lecturer and visiting assistant lecturer at Salahaddin University-Erbil and Soran University, respectively. Bootan earned his BSc and MSc from Salahaddin University-Erbil, and his Ph.D in mathematical biology from University of Sussex, United Kingdom where he worked with Dr Yuliya and Dr Konstantin. His Ph.D thesis led to the development of New Neural Network models with both Discrete and Distributed Delays in connections between nodes alongside the analysis of the stability properties of such systems. In 2022, Bootan secured Abel Visiting Scholarship Program Grant, hosted by Professor Sue Ann Campbell at University of Waterloo.
His research lies in the area of applied mathematics in the context of Delay Differential Equations (DDE) and their applications to modelling neural and complex networks. Time delays play an important role in analysing the behaviour of such networks, as they allow one to account for inevitable delays in transmission, finite speed of signal propagation and delayed connection. Time delays can also be used to control networks to produce desired patterns and system behaviours.
