Dr. Hazem Al-Mofleh joins the Ball State Department of Mathematical Sciences as an Assistant Teaching Professor.

What is your journey to Ball State?

Before coming to Ball State, I was Associate Professor at Tafila Technical University (in Jordan). I started my teaching at Tafila Technical University in 2014 as a Full-time Lecturer of Mathematics, I have been converted to Assistant Professor in 2017, then I have been promoted to Associate Professor in 2021.

I have been assigned as the Assistant Dean of Faculty of Science at Tafila Technical University from 2017 to 2019. From 2021 to 2023, I have been assigned as the director of Human Resources Development and E-learning Office in Tafila Technical University.

I served a one-year sabbatical leave in Eureka College (in IL) during the academic year 2023/2024.

I received my Ph.D. from Central Michigan University in mathematics (specialization in applied statistics) in 2014. While I was studying the Ph.D.; I also got a graduate data mining certificate.

I received my master’s degree in mathematics (specialization in mathematical statistics) from Al al-Bayt University (in Jordan) in 2006, and I received my bachelor’s degree from the same university in 2004.

What are your research and teaching interests?

My main research interests are spatial statistics, Geostatistics and probability distribution theory and applications, especially investigating and developing statistical lifetime distributions for mathematical description and commonly applied to describe a real-world random phenomenon in terms of the probabilities of events. I published 34 research articles in high impacted and good reputation journals depending on “Web of Science” and “Scopus”.

My teaching interests include probability, statistics, actuarial science and data science.

What are some of your goals for your first year here?

Try new teaching methods and develop my research experience.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I enjoy spending time with my family, learning new things, especially things related to programming languages, and creating and developing new creative things with Arduino.
