Binod Pant earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD), where his research focused on the intersection of mathematics and biology. His work involves utilizing mathematical theory (e.g., bifurcation and asymptotic analyses), data analytics, and computational methods to gain insight into the transmission dynamics and control of emerging and re‑emerging infectious diseases of public health importance. Among other research areas, Dr. Pant's ongoing work focuses on (a) analyzing human behavior data and incorporating behavior change data into mathematical models, (b) uncertainty quantification of epidemiological models, and (c) using mechanistic models to gain mathematical insight into the transgenic fungus's ability to control malaria mosquitoes.

Dr. Pant is an elected Co‑Chair of the Mathematical Epidemiology subgroup (MEPI) of the Society of Mathematical Biology (SMB) and a steering committee member for the Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study (MIDAS)
