Mohamed Amine Khamsi

Mohamed Amine Khamsi (born 1959 in Morocco) is an American/Moroccan mathematician known for his work in nonlinear functional analysis, the fixed point theory, and metric spaces. He has made notable contributions to the fixed point theory of metric spaces, particularly in developing the theory of modular function spaces and their applications in data science.

He graduated from the prestigious École Polytechnique in 1983 after attending the equally prestigious Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris, France. He completed his PhD, entitled "La propriété du point fixe dans les espaces de Banach et les espaces Métriques," at the Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University in May 1987 under the supervision of Gilles Godefroy. His early research laid the foundation for significant advances in fixed point theory.

Since 1989, Khamsi has been a faculty member at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), where he became a full professor of mathematics in 1999. During his tenure at UTEP, he was instrumental in reforming the Differential Equations course, significantly improving student success and retention.

Currently, Khamsi is a professor of mathematics at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, where his research continues to impact fields such as nonlinear analysis, fixed point theory, and their applications in optimization and data science.

Dr. Khamsi has held visiting positions at the University of Southern California and the University of Rhode Island from 1987 to 1989. His research collaborations with mathematicians like W. M. Kozlowski have led to new developments in Modular Function Spaces and their applications to nonlinear problems. He is the co-author, with W. A. Kirk, of the widely cited book An Introduction to Metric Spaces and Fixed Point Theory, published by Wiley in 2001.

Khamsi has served as an associate editor for several prestigious journals, including Fixed Point Theory, the Arabian Journal of Mathematics, and the Moroccan Journal of Pure and Applied Analysis.

Dr. Khamsi has received numerous accolades throughout his career, recognizing his contributions to mathematics and his commitment to teaching and mentorship.
