Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University | Saudi Arabia
Dr. Yasser Almoteri is an Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics at Al-Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he contributes to advancing interdisciplinary mathematical research and graduate education. He earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in 2023, completing a dissertation focused on bacterial motion and spread in porous environments, a topic that bridges biomathematics, complex fluids, and computational modeling. His advanced training also includes a Master of Science in Mathematics from New York University (2017) and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from Al-Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (2011). Before joining the faculty, Dr. Almoteri served as a Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant at NJIT from 2018 to 2023, where he gained extensive experience in mathematical modeling, numerical simulations, and interdisciplinary collaborations. His research explores biomathematics, collective behavior of micro-swimmers, and fluid–structure interactions in complex and impure environments. He has presented his work at several prestigious conferences, including the APS March Meeting, APS Division of Fluid Dynamics, and the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM). Dr. Almoteri has earned notable academic recognitions, including the Silver Medal at the Dana Knox Research Showcase (2021) and the Outstanding Graduate Student Award at NJIT (2022). His work has been supported through competitive research and teaching assistantships. Alongside his academic pursuits, he is skilled in mathematical modeling and programming using MATLAB and R. He is fluent in Arabic and proficient in English, enabling effective communication in diverse academic settings.
