Dr. Sadok Kallel

Professor

PhD in Mathematics, Stanford University, USA

Sadok Kallel taught mathematics at the University of British Columbia in Canada, and then at the University of Lille in France. His research interests are in algebraic topology and homotopy theory, two branches of modern geometry, with applications to non-linear analysis and differential geometry. He is a founding member and the current Director of the Mediterranean Institute for the Mathematical Sciences.
