Dr. Maitri Verma has received her Ph.D. in Mathematics from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India on the topic "Mathematical modeling and analysis of greenhouse gases and their control". She is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow. Dr. Verma is specialized in mathematical modeling of ecological, environmental, and engineering systems. She is actively working in the modeling areas of mathematical modeling and analysis of emission and control of greenhouse gases, modeling of the dynamics of predator-prey systems, dynamics of computer virus in a network, etc. She has 14 research papers to her credit in the journals of international repute. She has taught courses of Dynamical Systems, Mathematical modeling, Ordinary differential equations, Real analysis, Linear Algebra, Functional analysis, and Probability and probability distributions to postgraduate students. Dr. Verma is a life member of the Indian Mathematical Society, Indian Science Congress, and Biomathematical Society of India. Dr. Verma has qualified National Eligibility Test (NET) conducted by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), India, in years 2009 and 2010 and availed Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Senior Research Fellowship (SRF) during the Ph.D. program. She has been awarded a postdoctoral fellowship from the National Board of Higher Mathematics, Department of Atomic Energy, Mumbai, India in 2015. She has attended many workshops and conferences and won the best paper presentation award two times. She is involved as a reviewer in many international journals. She has received the start-up research grant for her project entitled "Causes and impacts of global warming: A mathematical study" from the University Grants Commission, New Delhi, India.
