Résumé :

Sadok Kallel? holds a PhD in Mathematics from Stanford University (1994) and a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Michigan State University. He is currently a faculty member at the American University of Sharjah and a research fellow with the Laboratoire Painlev? at the University of Lille 1 in France, where he was a faculty member from 1999 to 2011. His main research interests are in algebraic and differential topology, in particular in configuration spaces and loop space theory, with a focus on applications to nonlinear analysis and mathematical physics. He is also the director of the Mediterranean Institute for the Mathematical Sciences in Tunis, Tunisia, and the managing editor for the journal GSMD (Graduate Student Mathematical Diary).

Taher Abualrub ?is a Professor of Mathematics at the American University of Sharjah. He received his Master and PhD degrees in Mathematics from the University of Iowa, USA, in 1994 and 1998, respectively. In 1998 he also joined the American University of Sharjah (AUS) as an Assistant Professor in the department of Mathematics and Statistics. His current research interests include error correcting codes, DNA computing, wavelet theory, and control theory. He serves as a reviewer for several scientific journals including Math Review, IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Applied Discrete Mathematics, and Journal of the Franklin Institute, and has published over 45 refereed journal articles and conference proceedings papers.

Hana Sulieman is?a Professor of Statistics and Head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Before joining the AUS, she was an associate researcher at Queen's University, Kingston, Canada, where she also completed her PhD in Applied Statistics. She has many years of experience in Statistical consulting in Canada and the UAE.? Her primary research interests are sensitivity analysis in nonlinear parameter estimation and statistical design of experiments. Through consulting activities, she has also developed other research interests related to statistical applications and modeling in the health sciences and education. She has authored numerous publications in international peer reviewed journals and given many presentations at international and regional conferences. Further, she is a regular reviewer for international journals in the fields of applied statistics and data analysis.???
