Dr. Imen Hassairi Krichen is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at George Mason University Korea with international teaching and research experience spanning Tunisia, China, and South Korea. She brings more than a decade of experience in higher education and is deeply committed to interdisciplinary education, student mentorship, and advancing quantitative thinking across mathematics, data science, and emerging technologies.

Dr. Hassairi earned her Ph.D. in Mathematics from University of Sfax and holds a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics for Economics and Finance from Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. Her research lies in stochastic analysis, backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs), stochastic processes with jumps, and mathematical finance. She has authored several peer-reviewed publications in international journals, including research on BSDEs with Poisson jumps and L1L^1L1-integrable data, and continues to actively contribute to the development of probability theory and stochastic modeling.

In addition to her research in pure and applied mathematics, Dr. Hassairi is increasingly engaged in interdisciplinary connections between stochastic modeling, artificial intelligence, and data science. As Program Coordinator for the Computational and Data Sciences (CDS) program at Mason Korea, she is passionate about creating learning environments that bridge mathematical theory with real-world applications in technology, finance, and analytics.

Recognized for her engaging and student-centered teaching style, Dr. Hassairi is known for fostering intellectual curiosity, confidence, and critical thinking in the classroom. Her international academic experience and mentorship philosophy continue to inspire students from diverse backgrounds to pursue innovation, global perspectives, and lifelong learning.
