A professor from the University of the Free State Abdon Atangana has been recognised as one of the top 1% of scientists on the prestigious global Clarivate Web of Science list and is the youngest mathematician to be so honoured. According to Clarivate, this accolade recognises true pioneers in their field over the past decade, demonstrated by the production of multiple high-cited papers that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and year in the Web of Science. Professor Atangana is known for developing a new maths fractional operator used to model real-world problems arising in the fields of engineering, science and technology.
