Dr. Mahieddine Adim joins PMU as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Rennes, France, where his research focused on nonlinear partial differential equations, particularly in oceanography. His work on multilayer shallow water systems investigated wave propagation in the presence of turbulence. Dr. Mahieddine Adim has teaching experience at both university and secondary levels in France, delivering courses such as topology, linear algebra, and multivariable analysis to students in mathematics, physics, and computer science. His teaching philosophy emphasizes clarity, accessibility, and engagement, fostering rigorous logical thinking and helping students understand mathematics as a powerful tool for interpreting the natural world. He has published in recognized journals, including SAGE and Comptes Rendus Mathématique de l’Académie des Sciences. His research interests included nonlinear PDEs, fluid dynamics, and mathematical modeling. At PMU, Dr. Mahieddine Adim aims to contribute to high-quality teaching while supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 through the development of strong analytical skills in students and fostering a deeper appreciation of mathematics in science and engineering."

Dr. Mahieddine Adim's research focuses on the mathematical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), with particular applications to geophysical fluid dynamics and physical oceanography. His doctoral research investigated density-stratified flows, hydrostatic models, and multilayer shallow water systems, with an emphasis on the mathematical justification of reduced models describing complex ocean dynamics. His work also addresses the effects of turbulent mixing through the Gent–McWilliams parameterization, as well as fundamental questions of well-posedness, stability, and convergence between discrete multilayer models and continuously stratified fluid systems. His broader research interests include mathematical modeling, and the rigorous analysis of nonlinear fluid dynamics.
