Aissa WADE

President - AIMS-Senegal

Professor Wade’s research interests fall within the broad area of differential geometry. Aissa received her Ph.D. degree from the University Of Montpellier, France, and her Master’s degree in mathematics from the University Of Dakar, Senegal. She was appointed as President of AIMS-Senegal in 2016. Prior to that, Aissa served as the academic director of AIMS-Senegal. She is one of the leading proponents of the AIMS Women In Science (AIMWIS) initiative, designed to celebrate, promote peer learning, and develop a pipeline for more female scientists by reaching younger women in STEM.
