After following the Diploma program at the International Center for Theoretical physics (ICTP) in 2005, he defended his PhD in 2009 at the Institute for Advanced Studies (ISAS/SISSA) in Italy. He then became an assistant lecturer at the Université Catholique de Louvain-La-Neuve in Belgium from 2009-2010, after which he became a Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, followed by a postdoctoral position at the Università Degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca. Since 2013, he has been the Endowed Chair of Mathematics and its Applications of AIMS-Senegal.

Moustapha has served as:

  • Member of the Scientific council of CIRM (Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques), Marseille.
  • Member of the EMS-CDC (European Mathematical Society-Committee of Developing Countries).
  • Member of the scientific advisory board of the doctoral school of Mathematics and Computer Sciences at the University of Dakar, 2014-2018.
  • Member of the (Committee for Developing Countries) CDC Grant Selection Committee 2015-2018 within the International Mathematical Union (IMU).

His research areas are Differential Geometry and Partial Differential Equations, with a particular focus on Isoperimetric and functional inequalities, regularity theory, nonlocal equations, and overdetermined equations. Other research interests include Mathematical modelling for socio-economic, ecologic systems, and Agent-Based modelling. His research has earned him international recognition. In 2018, Moustapha was an invited speaker at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio.
