Laila Girgis

Laila Girgis, PhD, is a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Literacy at Delaware State University. She holds a Ph.D. in Mathematical Physics (2012) and two Master’s degrees: M.S. in Applied Mathematics (2010) and M.S. in Physics and Physics Teaching (2002) from Delaware State University, alongside a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Ain Shams University (1985).

Her research focuses on nonlinear dynamics, optical solitons, and mathematical physics, with notable contributions to soliton perturbation theory and solitary wave solutions. Her work has been published in journals like Optik, Optica Applicata, and Optics and Laser Technology.

Girgis has extensively studied optical Gaussons and soliton behavior in birefringent fibers, intermodal dispersions, and complex media. Her methodologies include variational principles and adiabatic phase analysis. While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, her publications reflect sustained research activity in interdisciplinary physics and applied mathematics.

Her teaching and academic roles emphasize mathematical literacy, and she has no listed advisees or grants in the provided profile. Her academic journey spans over three decades, bridging engineering, physics, and advanced mathematical research.
