Mohammad Niksirat is a faculty member in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Alberta. His research interests lie in applied mathematics, focusing on nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), dynamical systems, variational methods, and optimal control. He has made significant contributions to the existence of periodic solutions for nonlinear systems of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) using topological degree theory. His work includes the development of a new topological characteristic related to Onsager's equation in liquid crystals, which has enabled researchers to determine the structure and bifurcation of solutions. Niksirat also applies topological methods to establish the existence of optimal control in distributed parameter systems. Throughout his academic career, he has authored several peer-reviewed journal papers and offers online textbooks for free download for non-profit use, contributing to both the academic community and the broader public interest in mathematics.
