Biography

Rim Gouia-Zarrad is an Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics at MedTech, with research expertise in the fields of integral geometry and mathematical problems of medical imaging. After graduating from L'Ecole Centrale de Paris and a brief career in the industry (Bouygues Construction, France;  XTO Energy, ExxonMobil, USA) she joined the academia to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Arlington in Applied Mathematics. She taught graduate and undergraduate mathematics at various institutions. She is an active member of several International multidisciplinary research teams. Dr. Gouia's interests extend to Integral geometry, Medical Imaging, Inverse Problems, Machine Learning, eLearning Pedagogy and the application of artificial intelligence in higher education. Prior to joining MedTech, she held the position of associate professor at the American University of Sharjah.
