Meet The Director

Dr. Malesela Clifford Kekana

Senior Lecturer & Section Head, Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), Pretoria, South Africa

Dr. Malesela Clifford Kekana is a Senior Lecturer and Section Head in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), Pretoria. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from TUT, where his research focuses on dynamical systems, numerical methods, and mathematical modelling of real-world problems, with a strong emphasis on epidemiological systems and fractional calculus.

Over the years, Dr. Kekana has contributed significantly to the field of mathematical modelling through the development and application of semi-analytical, numerical, and fractional-order methods for solving complex differential equations. His work covers a wide range of applications including infectious disease dynamics (such as COVID-19, Nipah virus, and rotavirus), market competition systems, and the use of accuracy monitoring techniques for initial value problems.

Dr. Kekana has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and presented at both national and international conferences. His Google Scholar profile lists multiple citations to his work, reflecting its impact in advancing mathematical approaches to public health and beyond.
