Samiur Arif received his B.Sc. in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, BRAC University, Bangladesh in 2008. Then for a brief period of time he joined Goodrich Aerostructures Service Center, Singapore.
In fall 2008, Samiur joined Old Dominion University and started his Phd in Computer Science.Initially he started working under Dr. Zubair. After successfully implementing Asian Option pricing in IBM CELL parallel architecture he focused his research on Stochastic Epidemic Modeling under Dr. Olariu from spring 2010. Initially research was primarily on Compartmental disease epidemic models such as SI, SIS and SIR. He found out numerous interesting applications of epidemics model in Computer Science, Finance, Marketing, Population Biology etc.
In the fall of 2011, Samiur started looking at Stem Cell growth models which is vital in regenerative medicine. He successfully came up with a stochastic growth model in Stem Cell growth which closely mimics the predicted growth pattern in vitro. The resulting paper “A Versatile Model for Stem Cell Growth" was selected to be awarded the Visiting Scholar Award for Excellence in the Natural & Computational Sciences at The College of William and Mary's 11th Annual Graduate Research Symposium.
