Biography
Eid H. Doha, Ph. D., is Professor of Mathematics (Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory) at the University of Cairo, Egypt.
Professor Doha graduated in 1967 fromCairo University,Egypt, with a B. Sc. Degree in Pure and applied Mathematics and obtained his M. Sc. Degree (in Applied Mathematics) 1972 from the same University and his Ph.D. Degree (in Numerical analysis and Approximation theory) 1977 from the University of Lancaster, United Kingdom.
He is a member of the American Mathematical Society, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) , the international Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (IMACS), the Mathematical and Physical Society of Egypt, and the Egyptian Mathematical Society. Also, he is a member of the Egyptian National Committee of Mathematics (AcademyofScientific Researchand Technology, Cairo-Egypt), and fellow of theAfricanAcademyof Sciences.
Among other awards, Professor Doha has received "The Excellence Scientific Research Prize in Basic Sciences" fromCairoUniversityfor the year 2007, the international Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (IMACS) award of 2009, and the award of "Excellence Research Paper" from the Egyptian National Committee of Mathematics 2005. Also, he has been honored by receiving the awards of best M. Sc. and best Ph. D. theses in Mathematics from the Egyptian Mathematical Society, for his postgraduate students (two M. Sc. and three Ph. D.).
Professor Doha has presented over 10 invited lectures at international meetings, over 50 lectures at national meetings and approximately 30 colloquium lectures at universities and research institutes in theUnited Kingdom,Italy, Hungry,Spain,Belgium,Bulgaria,Kuwait,Saudi Arabia, United-Arab Emirates andEgypt.
Professor Doha has published over 70 research papers in different areas of Mathematics, including special functions and orthogonal polynomials, difference equations, spectral solutions of ordinary, partial, and fractional differential equations, boundary-value problems, initial-value problems, wavelets, and free and moving boundary value problems. His current research interest includes connection and linearization problems between continuous, discrete and orthogonal polynomials, spectral methods for ordinary partial and fractional differential equations.
