Associate Professor at Politecnico di Torino, Letterio Gatto, is the recipient of the MARM-LMS grant for the period 2020-2021. His main field of interest is the therory and applications of Hasse-Schmidt Derivations on Exterior Algebra, a subject he has introduced in 2005, to provide an alternative more algebraic description of Schubert Calculus. See his personal web-page here.

Professor Frank Neuman, presently affiliated to Leicester's University,  is currently the Chairman of the London Mathematical Society MARM Board. He is a main inspirer and supporter of the activities pursued at UNam as well as to the other MARM nodes, which are spread off all over Africa. His Major research areas are Algebraic Topology, especially homotopy theory, and Algebraic Geometry.

Former Head of the Department of Mathematics of University of Namibia, Ph.D. at the University of South Africa, Martin Mugochi is the MARM referent for UNam. Together with MARM grant holder Letterio Gatto and Professor Giovanni Marelli, he stimulates, fposter, promote all te MARM activiteies. He is the main organizer of the MARM opening activities round table here.

Professor at University of Namibia at Windhoek, Giovanni Marelli is one example of the many italians who has fallen in love for the many beauties of Africa, finding there an ideal environment to develop his research activity. He is an expert in mathematical physics and Algebraic Geometry but this has not prevented him to organize and participating of the panel discussion "Can Mathematics Help us Tackle Pandemics Crisis?"

Elise Lazarus, besides being Assisant Professor, teaching and tutoring young students, is currently working on her Ph.D. thesis devoted to investigate some aspects related to perfectoid spaces, npowaday a very hot topic due to the spectaculatr achievement obtained by the Field Medal Peter Scholze in developing his p-adic Hodge theory. She is collabrating in the redaction fo a text book on generic linear Ordianary differentiale equations and Related topics..

Like Elise Lazarus, Sigfried Amukugo is committed with activity of teaching and tutoring and in the meantime has begun a Ph.D.thesis project regarding the combinatorics of symmetric functions and the theory of Hasse-Schmidt Derivations on an exterior algebra, under the personal supervision of the LMS-MARM grant holder Letterio Gatto coadiuvated by Giovanni Marelli.  He is actively involed in the redaction of the MARM book on Generic Linear ODE and he is the local expert in Young tableaux.

The web mantainance of the MARN-UNam page is due to the expertise of Jesse Lichela, Master student and expert in digital media. He also cared of the production of the video of the panel discussion held on December 8, 2020. He is student of Mathematics, computer Science and Aeronautical Science. He is currently studying topics in Mathematical logic thanks to the LMS-MARM affiliated member Professor Luca San Mauro.

Winifred Mutuku is the Head of Mathematics at Kenyatta University. Her research interest are addressed to that exciting part of mathematical physics interacting with biology. For instance one of her most interesting publication is about Hydromagnetic bioconvection of nanofluid over a permeable vertical plate due to gyrotactic microorganisms. She is actively collaborating with the Namibian MARM project bringing her scientific and managerial experience.

Professor Kagungda obtained a Ph.D in Applied Mathematics, writing a thesis entitled "Mathematical analysis and dynamical systems modeling". within a joint project between the University of Lorraine,  Metz, and the University of Nairobi.  She is membe  of  the Commission fo Women on Mathematics (CWM/IMU) representing Kenya in the Regional workshop in Africa for the project “A Global Approach to the Gender Gap in Mathematical and Natural Sciences: How to Measure It, How to Reduce It?

Professor Luca San Mauro was a  postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Discrete Mathematics and Geometry of Vienna University of Technology, where he is running a two-years research project (2018-2020) funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). For the Yeas 2020-2021 he is affiliated to the LMS-MARM program at University of Namibia, where he gives research talks and supervise Jesse Lichela intersts in Mathematicala Logic.

Dipo Aldila is a very active researchers working at the Department of Mathematics of INDONESIA,  and he is a very active mathematician in the field of applying mathematics to develop mathematical model for epidemiology. One of his most recent work  is about the "Impact of early detection and vaccination strategy in COVID-19 eradication program in Jakarta, Indonesia". He kindly accepted to be affiliated as a collaborate to the LMS-MARM program, to pursue researches aimed to compare the epidemiologic situations in geographical region placed at long distance.

Maria B. Spadacini (aka Bea),  has been the press officer of the LMS-MARM at UNam From November 2020 to September 30 2021.
