Luboobi is Visiting Professor of Biomathematics, Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Strathmore University, Kenya.
He is a former Professor of Biomathematics in the Department of Mathematics, Makerere University.He was an Adjunct Professor in Applied Mathematics at Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NMAIST), Arusha Tanzania July 2013 – June 2017. He is a former Vice Chancellor, Makerere University, Uganda (2004 – 2009).
He obtained BSc.(Maths) from University of East Africa at Makerere College (1970);
M.A.Sc (Operations Research) from the University of Toronto, Canada
(1972);
PhD (Applied Math – Biomathematics) from the University of Adelaide,
Australia (1980). Research Project was entitled: Mathematical models for a
population of insects infesting stored cereal products
– Supervised by Dr. William Henderson (RIP).
Luboobi and his students have made significant contribution to the development of the field of Biomathematics in the region, with special emphasis on research in mathematical epidemiology, particularly infectious diseases such as Malaria, HIV/AIDS, Trypanosomiasis, Ebola, Rift Valley Fever. He was the first President of the African Society for Biomathematics (ASB); a member of the International Biometric Society; a member of the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology; and Chairperson of the Board of Governors for the Inter-University Council for East Africa (July 2008 – June 2009). He is a Fellow of Uganda National Academy of Sciences, a member of the Advisory Board for East Africa University Mathematics
Programme – supported by International Science Programme (Uppsala, Sweden). While Vice Chancellor he initiated the Makerere University Private Sector Forum intended to bridge the gap between the University and the Private Sector.

Since 1987 Luboobi has taught many courses at graduate level in Differential Equations & Dynamical Systems, Probability Theory, mathematical Statistics, Stochastic Processes, Operations Research, Biomathematics and Research Methods.
He has supervised:

• 24 PhD students in East African universities (completed)
• 6 PhD students in East African universities (on going)
• 49 Masters students (completed)
• 2 Masters students (on going)
