About me

Manalebish Debalike Asfaw is an assistant professor in the department of Mathematics at Addis
Ababa University. She received her Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Addis Ababa University with
first-class honor in December 2018. In her dissertation, a novel modeling approach which takes
into account both the spatial and temporal effect in the analysis of plant herbivore interactions
was used and analyzed.She has work experience at two different higher education institutions in
Ethiopia as an instructor. She is a researcher in the area of mathematical ecology and epidemiology.

Degrees:

2019
Doctorate
