Gangbo attended graduate school at Swiss Federale Institute
of Technology where he earned his Ph.D. in 1992. From 1992 to
1993, Dr. Gangbo was a Postdoc Associate at Carnegie Mellon University.
1993--1995 he was located at the Mathematical Sciences Research
Institute in Berkeley. Dr. Wifrid Gango joined the mathematics
department of Georgia Tech as an Assistant Professor in 1995.
In 1999 he was promoted to Associate professor. In 2001 he was
promoted to Professor - from Ph.D. to Full Professor in nine years
is very strong.
Professor Gango is Founder of "EcoAfrica," association
of scientists involved in several projects in support of African
countries. EcoAfrica was founded in 1990 in Switzerland and currently
has six members. In the past years, EcoAfrica received funds mostly
from Swiss institutions such as DDA, a Swiss Goverment Agency.
Among other things, EcoAfrica has organized several workshops
in Applied Mathematics in Senegal and intends to do the same in
other countries in Africa.
