He then earned his PhD degree from Tel Aviv University in 1998. After holding a three-year Assistant Professor position at the University of Michigan, he moved to Tulane University, where he worked as an Assistant, Associate and Full Professor of Mathematics from 2001 to 2019. In 2016, Alexander Kurganov arrived at SUSTech as a Full Professor and in 2019 he was promoted to the Chair Professor.  Prof. Kurganov research is focused on numerical methods for hyperbolic PDEs and related problems. His particular area of expertise is finite-volume, particle and operator splitting methods with applications to a wide variety shallow water models, compressible gas dynamics equations, multi-component and multi-phase fluids, PDE based models of chemotaxis, pedestrian and traffic flows, financial mathematics, and several other areas.
