Dr. Ajmia Younes Orfi is an assistant Professor of Mathematics at AlFaisal University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. She obtained her PhD Degree in Applied Mathematics: (June 2017) (with very honourable mention) from department of Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences of Tunis, University of Tunis-El Manar, Tunisia. Thesis Title: A priori and a posteriori error analysis using Finite Element Method: Applications to unsteady Darcy and Darcy-Stokes equations. She earned her master's degree in applied mathematics: (Feb 2009) (with an award of excellence) from University of Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Project title: A posteriori error estimator for mixed dual finite element methods of linear elasticity problems.
She had been adjunct professor at AlFaisal University from Fall 2019 to Spring 2024. She worked as teaching assistant at the University of Moncton and lecturer at King Saud University, College of Business Administration, Department of Quantitative Analysis.
Her research interests include the development of finite element method in general, with a focus on the a priori and a posteriori error estimators analysis and solving complex problems related to physical and biomedical problems including unsteady and steady Darcy and coupled Darcy-Stokes equations, linear elasticity equations, etc. for flow with heat in porous media, blood flow in arteries, flow in deformable walls etc.
During her PhD thesis period and after, Dr Ajmia Younes Orfi had the opportunity to work closely under the supervision of the late Prof. Christine Bernardi, from the Sorbonne University and Pierre-Marie Curie University (UPMC), Paris, France.
