Rate My Professor Tej Ghoul

Tej-eddine Ghoul is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) and Global Network Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. He holds an MA from the University of Paris 6 and École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, and a PhD from the University of Paris 13. Before pursuing his PhD, Ghoul worked for one year at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). After completing his doctorate, he joined New York University in New York as a Courant Instructor—equivalent to an Assistant Professor of Mathematics—for two years, during which he taught courses in Calculus and Linear Algebra. Currently at NYUAD, he also serves as Co-Principal Investigator at the Research Center on Stability, Instability, and Turbulence.

Ghoul's research focuses on partial differential equations (PDEs) that arise in physics, chemistry, and biology. He investigates the formation of singularities and the asymptotic behavior of solutions to nonlinear PDEs. In particular, his work addresses blow-up dynamics to provide qualitative descriptions of singularity formation and the stability of these dynamics, as well as the long-time behavior of solutions. Ghoul has authored numerous papers in prestigious journals. Key publications include: "Refined Description and Stability for Singular Solutions of the 2D Keller-Segel System" (2022, Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, with Charles Collot, Nader Masmoudi, and Van-Tien Nguyen); "On the stability of self-similar blow-up for solutions to the incompressible Euler equations on R³" (2022, with Tarek Elgindi and Nader Masmoudi); "Singularity formation for Burgers equation with transversal viscosity" (2018, with Charles Collot and Nader Masmoudi); "Minimal mass blowup solutions for the Patlak-Keller-Segel equation" (2018, Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, with Nader Masmoudi); "Singularities and unsteady separation for the inviscid two-dimensional Prandtl’s system" (2021, Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, with Charles Collot and Nader Masmoudi).
