Joanna Bodgi Tarazi, born in 1982, is a faculty member and researcher in mathematics at the Faculty of Science at Saint Joseph University of Beirut (USJ), Lebanon. She was appointed as a lecturer in 2008, an assistant professor in 2011, and then an associate professor in 2020. A graduate of USJ, she obtained her Bachelor's degree in mathematics in 2002, followed by a Master's degree in Mathematics and Applications in 2003, and a DEA (Advanced Master’s degree) in Partial Differential Equations and Numerical Analysis in 2004. In 2008, she completed her PhD at the Laboratory of Material Analysis and Identification (LAMI, now Navier) at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (ENPC), with a dissertation on Pedestrian-structure synchronization: Application to vibrations of flexible footbridges. At USJ, she was responsible for the Master’s program in Numerical Analysis: Partial Differential Equations from 2009 to 2016, and has since overseen the Master's program in Analysis and Probability for Partial Differential Equations since 2016. Her research focuses on mathematical modeling, partial differential equations, and numerical analysis. She has supervised four doctoral theses and published thirteen articles in international peer-reviewed journals.
