Dr. Ziyad Al-Sharawi

Associate Professor
PhD in Mathematics, Central Michigan University, USA

Before joining AUS, Ziyad Al-Sharawi taught a variety of math courses for over nine years at Sultan Qaboos University in Oman and at Central Michigan University in the USA. His research interest is on difference equations and discrete dynamical systems. Particular interest is given to discrete models arising from problems in mathematical biology and ecology.
