Prof Anguelov enjoys considerable international recognition as a researcher, as reflected in his B3 rating by NRF. He completed his MSc in Mathematics at the Sofia University and his PhD at UNISA.

Prior to his appointment at UP in 2001, Prof Anguelov was a senior lecturer at the former Vista University, as well as in Zimbabwe and in Bulgaria. He maintains a good publication record and a vibrant research network of collaborators and students. Although he is relatively new in the field of Biomathematics, his work has received strong recognition from researchers in the field. Through the efforts of a group of very strong researchers in Biomathematics and the support of the wider research community he and other researchers have established a new international and interdisciplinary journal BIOMATH.  Prof Anguelov is editor-in-chief of this journal. In 2009 he was elected as an Associate Member of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, as acknowledgement for work done.
