Profiles

Daniele Boffi is a professor in the Applied Mathematics and Computational Science Program at KAUST. Before joining KAUST, he spent 14 years as a full professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pavia (UnIPV), Italy.

Boffi received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from UnIPV in 1996 and his M.S. in Mathematics from the same institution in 1990. During his time in Italy, he served as the director of Pavia's Higher Education School and was a member of several academic committees, including the University's Academic Senate and Evaluation Committee.

Boffi's research focuses on the numerical approximation of partial differential equations, spanning various aspects of mathematical modeling and scientific computing. He has made significant contributions to the modeling and simulation of fluid-structure interaction problems and the study of the numerical approximation of eigenvalue problems arising from partial differential equations.

At KAUST, Boffi leads the Numerical Methods for PDEs (NumPDE) research group, which provides a platform for the mathematical analysis and numerical validation of numerical schemes.

I am  a dedicated Saudi female researcher with a strong background in numerical analysis. My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Mathematics from King Faisal University, where I graduated with honors. Supported by the prestigious King Abdullah Scholarship Program (KASP), I pursued my Master's in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Old Dominion University, USA, followed by a graduate certificate in modeling and simulation.

Currently, I am a PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), supervised by Professor Daniele Boffi. I am honored to have received a full governmental scholarship from the Royal Commission of Jubail and Yanbu. I have achieved recognition on the dean's list of top students in the CEMSE Division at KAUST. Alongside my studies, I am actively involved as president of the SIAM Student Chapter at KAUST.

I am interested in researching the numerical approximation of partial differential equations, specifically

in relation to fluid dynamics and interface problems such as fluid-structure interactions. My expertise

lies in finite element methods and mixed finite elements.
