"I was trained as an applied mathematician with a strong emphasis on statistics as a student at Dhaka University, Bangladesh. It transpired that this is not a common combination and I then went on to do my PhD at Loughborough University in Leicestershire in the United Kingdom on mathematical application solving engineering problems. Both these choices proved fruitful in my career, which brought me to Wits University in 1997," says Professor Montaz Ali.
