Prof. Mokhtar Kirane received a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris 6, France in 1983, a Doctorat es Sciences Mathematiques from the University of Annaba, Algeria in 1990, and a Habilitation to conduct research from the University of Picardie, France, in 2000. He spent one year, 1987-1988, as a post-doc at the Istituto per le Applicazione del Calcolo (IAC) Mauro Picone of the CNR, Roma, and two years, 1992-1994, as a research fellow at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy. He became assistant then associate professor in the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Annaba, 1988-1992. He served as the director of the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Annaba, 1990-1992. From 1994 to 2001, he worked at the University of Picardie as an associate professor (First Class: 01/09/1999-01/09/2001).
