UEMF welcomes Prof. Salim Tayou from Dartmouth College for a doctoral course in algebraic geometry and cryptography

Euromed University of Fes (UEMF) will be pleased to welcome Prof. Salim Tayou, assistant professor at the prestigious Dartmouth College (United States), who will teach a doctoral course for the University’s doctoral candidates from Monday, September 14 to Thursday, September 17, 2026 inclusive. Titled "Algebraic Geometry and Applications to Cryptography", this course is part of UEMF's efforts to provide its doctoral students with privileged access to international scientific expertise and to promote exchanges with leading researchers.

A course at the intersection of pure mathematics and digital security

The course will offer an introduction to algebraic geometry, a major field of pure mathematics that seeks to understand and study geometric shapes through algebraic equations. Through an approach that links theoretical concepts and concrete applications, doctoral students will discover in particular how certain ideas and methods from algebraic geometry find applications in cryptography, thus contributing to the security of communications and digital exchanges. This connection between pure mathematics, advanced research and technological issues will allow participants to explore the links between high-level mathematical concepts and problems at the heart of the digital transformation.

International scientific expertise serving doctoral training

The visit of Prof. Salim Tayou is an opportunity for UEMF doctoral students to deepen their knowledge with a researcher working at one of the reference universities in the United States. A professor at Dartmouth College, Prof. Salim Tayou is a mathematician and researcher in the field of geometry and pure mathematics. His scientific career and work illustrate the importance of mathematics in understanding complex issues and in the development of new research perspectives. By organizing this doctoral course, UEMF thus continues its policy of international scientific openness and strengthening interactions between its doctoral students and the global academic community.
