the post of a professor of Mathematics in 1999.

Professor Bamigbola taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Ilorin (1986 - 1993, 1994 - 2000, 2002 - 2010, 2011 - present), Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria, as visiting lecturer (September 1993 - July 1994), Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomoso, Nigeria, as visiting  professor (January - December 2001, February 2010 - January 2011). The undergraduate courses he taught included Calculus, Vectors and Tensors, Coordinate Geometry, Elementary Differential Equations, Functional Analysis, Linear Algebra, Linear Programming, Mathematical Methods, Mathematical Modelling, Metric Space Topology, Modelling and Simulation, Numerical Analysis, Operations Research, Optimization Theory, Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Performance Evaluation, Real Analysis, Riemann-Stieljes Integration, Sets and Logic, System Analysis and Design.  Those he taught at postgraduate level are: Advanced Operations Research, Asymptotic Methods, Classical Analysis, Computational Optimization, Computational Optimization and Numerical Analysis, Finite Element Method and Mathematical Methods, Mathematical Methods, Numerical Analysis and Computation, Numerical Methods, Numerical Optimization in Engineering, Operations Research, Operations

Research and Mathematical Methods, Optimization.

In respect of supervision of students' research, over 100 undergraduate projects, 30 M. Sc. dissertations and 15 Ph. D. theses he successfully supervised to completion in the areas of functional analysis, optimization, modelling and simulation, operations research, computer

science, linear algebra and numerical analysis.

As an academic, Professor Bamigbola's research interests are in the following areas: optimization of electric power systems, financial systems, bio systems including epidemiological models; large-scale mathematical programming; exploitation of algebraic structures of iterative methods for development of fast and accurate solvers for linear and nonlinear algebraic systems of

equations.

As a scholar, Professor Bamigbola  has participated in collaborative researches in Nigeria and for the same purpose visited the School of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa (2011 - 2015); Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Cape Town, South Africa (2013); School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science, University of Kwa- Zulu Natal, South Africa (2015); Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrenece, USA (2018) and Kampala

International University, Kampala, Uganda (2019).

Arising from his research efforts, Professor Bamigbola has produced about 80 academic publications, most of which have appeared in reputable publication outlets. Also, he has attended conferences and workshops, both within and outside Nigeria, for the presentation of his research

results.

Professor Bamigbola is a distinguished academic with the following awards: International Mathematical Union-Commission for Developing Countries (IMU-CDC)  Volunteer Lecturer Program at Kampala International University, Kampala, Uganda (10 February - 12 March, 2020); Scholarship Award, International Congress of Industrial and Applied Mathematicians (ICIAM 2019), Valencia, Spain ( 15 - 19 July, 2019); European Mathematical Society (EMS)-Simons for Africa Grant for Collaborative Research visit (30 September - 02 December, 2018); Honorary referee 2013 Maejo International Journal of Science and Technology; Grant for Teaching and Research Mentoring, African Mathematics Millennium Initiatives Project 2008; Research Award, African Mathematics Millennium Initiatives 2008; Fellow, Mathematical Association of Nigeria, 2006; Fellow, Academy of Control, 1999; Research Scientist, National

Mathematical Centre, Abuja, Nigeria 1997.
