Mustapha Bouallala | Cadi Ayyad University | Morocco

Prof. Mustapha Bouallala, from the Polydisciplinary Faculty at Cadi Ayyad University in Safi, Morocco, specializes in applied mathematics with a focus on variational and hemivariational inequalities, contact mechanics, thermo-viscoelasticity, and fractional‐order differential models. His work emphasizes the mathematical analysis, modeling, and numerical simulation of complex physical systems governed by non-smooth dynamics, memory effects, and time-fractional derivatives. He contributes to the development of analytical frameworks for contact problems involving viscoelastic materials, locking materials, and thermo-mechanical interactions. Through rigorous mathematical modeling and approximation techniques, his research advances the understanding of nonlinear evolutionary problems and supports applications in engineering mechanics, material behavior, and thermal–structural interaction systems.
