Kazeem Aremu

Kazeem Olalekan Aremu is a Nigerian academic, public speaker, researcher and education advocate. He is a senior lecturer at the department of Mathematics, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria. His research, spans the areas of mathematics and computational mathematics. (namely nonlinear optimization and fixed point theory, computational graph theory and algebraic graph theory). His research in fixed point theory is focused on study of fixed points of nonlinear mappings in geodesic spaces and linear spaces with applications in minimization problems, equilibrium problems, variational inequality problems etc. In graph theory, his research has practical applications in chemistry particularly in drug property modelling (QSPR and QSAR models) and machine learning.

Biography

Kazeem Aremu was born in the Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government Area of Lagos State to Mr. Momonu Aremu and Mrs. Suwebatu Kolawole, who originally hail from Ganmo and Okeso towns in Kwara State, respectively. He completed his primary education in Lagos State and his secondary education in Plateau State. Aremu later earned a national diploma in computer science from Kwara State Polytechnic in Ilorin, followed by a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria, in 2011. He obtained a Master of Science degree from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, in 2016, and completed his PhD at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, in 2021. Currently he is a senior lecturer at the department of Mathematics, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria and a part-time senior lecturer at the department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University, South Africa.

Community engagement

In 2021, Kazeem Aremu co-founded the Greenline Nurture Initiative (GNI), a mentorship non-profit organization aimed at mentoring young students who are passionate about academic and life after school.

Conferences

Kazeem Aremu has presented his research at various international conferences globally, with appearances at the11th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) in Heidelberg, Germany, and the 2022 Functional Analysis and Operator Theory South Africa Conference held at Kruger National Park, Limpopo, South Africa. He also served as the local organizing secretary for the 2023 Nigerian Mathematical Society in Sokoto, Nigeria.
