Bio
Dr. Nastaran Naghshineh is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics and the Mathematics and Physics Division Coordinator at RIT-Dubai. In her leadership role, she oversees and coordinates academic operations across Mathematics, Statistics, and Physics, ensuring alignment with university policies, academic standards, and institutional strategic objectives. Her responsibilities include coordinating course offerings, faculty teaching assignments, academic scheduling, curriculum development, and assessment activities. She works closely with faculty members and departmental leadership to maintain academic quality, enhance teaching effectiveness, and promote continuous improvement in student learning outcomes. She also contributes to strategic initiatives, including the development of new academic programs, curriculum enhancement, faculty recruitment, and collaborations with RIT's New York campus.
As a faculty member, Dr. Naghshineh has extensive teaching experience across a broad range of mathematics courses, including Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and Complex Variables. Beyond classroom instruction, she leads academic teaching teams, serves on various university and departmental committees, and mentors undergraduate students in research projects.
Dr. Naghshineh earned her PhD (2024) in Mathematical Modeling from RIT-New York. Her research focuses on the fluid dynamics of thin liquid films, with particular emphasis on mathematical modeling and the analysis of complex fluid-flow phenomena. She also holds a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from RIT Dubai (2017) and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Electronics Engineering from Simon Fraser University, Canada (2012).
