Toufik Mansour obtained his Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the University of Haifa in 2001. After various postdoctoral stints, Toufik became a permanent member of the faculty at the University of Haifa in 2003 and was promoted to associate professor in 2008. He spends his summers as a visitor at institutions around the globe, for example, at the Center for Combinatorics at Nankai University (China), where he was a faculty member from 2004 to 2007, and at The John Knopfmacher Center for Applicable Analysis and Number Theory at the University of the Witwatersrand (South Africa). Toufik's area of specialty is enumerative combinatorics, and more generally, discrete mathematics and its applications. Originally focusing on pattern avoidance in permutations, he has extended his interest to colored permutations, set partitions, words, and compositions. Toufik has authored or coauthored more than 200 research papers. He also has written two books, Combinatorics of Compositions and Words (with Professor Silvia Heubach); and Combinatorics of Set partitions, focus on my own research on permutation patterns on compositions, words and set partitions. Recently, he has involved on writing another book which describes the connection between Combinatorics and normal ordering problem. He also has given many talks at national and international conferences and is quite active as a reviewer for many journals.
