Rate My Professor Wafaa Mansoor

Dr. Wafaa Mansoor serves as a Lecturer in the School of Mathematics, Statistics, Chemistry and Physics at Murdoch University, within the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. She completed her PhD in Mathematical Modelling at Murdoch University in 2021. Her academic interests encompass biomathematics, mathematical modeling, disease modeling, fluid dynamics, porous media flow, and applications of mathematics in industry. Dr. Mansoor's research emphasizes practical problems in engineering and biological systems, including selective withdrawal from stratified fluids, hydrogen dispersal in the retina, and optimization in scheduling problems. She maintains an affiliation as a Lecturer in Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Baghdad.

Dr. Mansoor has authored several peer-reviewed publications demonstrating her expertise. Notable works include 'A new metaheuristic algorithm for solving multi-objective single-machine scheduling problems' (2025, Journal of Intelligent Systems, co-authored with Tahani Jabbar Khraibet and Bayda Atiya Kalaf), 'Solving Tri-criteria: Total Completion Time, Total Earliness and Maximum Tardiness Using Exact and Heuristic Methods on Single-Machine Scheduling Problems' (2024, Mathematical Modelling of Engineering Problems, with N.M. Neamah and others), 'Models of flow and diffusion: selective withdrawal from a stratified fluid and dispersal of hydrogen in the retina' (2023, Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society), and 'Modelling of hydrogen diffusion in the retina' (2019, ANZIAM Journal, with Graeme Hocking and Duncan Farrow). She collaborates frequently with Prof. Graeme Hocking at Murdoch University. In addition to research, Dr. Mansoor contributes to teaching, coordinating units such as MAS164 Fundamentals of Mathematics, and supervises PhD projects like 'Mathematical modelling of Reservoir Dynamics.' She was recognized as one of Australia's 2024 Rising WiDS Stars by the Australia Data Science network for her work in data science and mathematics. Dr. Mansoor also participates in events such as Mathematics in Industry Study Group (MISG) 2026.
