About This Conference

The Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, is organizing a one-day workshop on Differential Geometry in honor of Professor Nabil Youssef. This event is part of the Faculty’s centennial celebrations, recognizing pioneers who have shaped its mission and distinguished reputation. He has a profound scientific legacy and a pioneering role in establishing a global theory of Finsler geometry and its applications in physics and mathematics. This workshop serves as a dynamic platform for researchers, especially early-career academics, to present recent work, exchange ideas, address emerging challenges, and foster collaboration. By doing so, it aims to sustain Professor Youssef’s inspiring academic heritage and encourage further innovation in the field. The program will cover core principles of differential geometry and its diverse applications, including algebraic geometry, geometric analysis, and theoretical physics. Special emphasis will be placed on advances in Finsler, Riemannian, and Teleparallel geometries, particularly their significance in modified gravity. Lectures will be presented by renowned international and local professors, leading experts in the field, and distinguished students of the late Professor Nabil Youssef.
