The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers a dynamic and diverse research environment, with faculty members specializing in many theoretical and applied disciplines. Our research is divided into five main groups:
Computational Modeling, Simulation, and Data Analysis Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, and Theoretical Computer Science Analysis, ODEs, PDEs, and Applied Mathematics Dynamical Systems, Stochastics, and Mathematical Physics Mathematical Modeling in Science and Engineering
Students interested in math research are highly encouraged to explore these different themes, identify areas that match their interests, and contact faculty working in those research fields.
