Habib Ammari, born in 1969 in Eljem, is a French-Tunisian mathematician. He is an expert in the mathematical aspects of imaging and wave propagation in complex media. His contributions to imaging and wave propagation in complex media bridge the gap between mathematics, physics, and real-world applications, particularly in the fields of nanoscience and biomedical imaging. He has advised more than sixty doctoral and postdoctoral researchers. He is one of the most cited mathematicians.

Biography
Habib Ammari is a former student of the École polytechnique. He completed his PhD in 1995 under the supervision of Jean-Claude Nédélec. He received a Habilitation degree in Mathematics from the University of Pierre & Marie Curie in Paris in 1999. Habib Ammari is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at ETH Zürich. Before moving to ETH in 2015, he was a Director of Research at the Department of Mathematics and Applications at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris (2010-2015). He has been a member of the Tunisian Academy of Sciences, Letters, and Arts since 2015 and the Académie européenne des sciences since 2018. In 2021, he has been elected as member of the Academia Europaea and the American Mathematical Society.

Biomedical imaging and super-resolution
Habib Ammari has developed new mathematical and numerical tools, frameworks and inversion methods to address emerging modalities in biomedical imaging, nondestructive testing, and environmental inverse problems.

Meta-materials and their topological properties
Habib Ammari has also introduced the mathematical foundation of topological metamaterials. He has proven the possibility of focusing, trapping, and guiding waves at sub-wavelength scales, i.e. at spatial scales that are significantly smaller than the operating wavelength, in a robust way against imperfections in the design of the local resonant micro-structures.

Research books: Habib Ammari has written several “reference” research books.
