Maria Amarakristi Onyido

Assistant Professor

Education

Ph.D., Auburn University — Partial Differential Equations

Research

Onyido’s research focuses on nonlocal dispersal equations and their application to structured population models, competition systems and reaction-diffusion equations. Her work investigates how spatiotemporal variations, dispersal mechanisms and environmental heterogeneity influence long-term population dynamics — including persistence, stability, spreading speeds and principal spectra — and extends to bifurcation theory for elliptic problems with nonlinear boundary conditions. She has published in the Journal of Differential Equations, the Journal of Mathematical Biology and Nonlinear Analysis: Real World Applications and has been an invited speaker at the Banff International Research Station and at AMS and SIAM sectional meetings.
