Applied Mathematics

Applied Mathematics.

The applied math group has particular strengths in nonlinear waves, network science and scientific computing, as well as breadth in a number of areas such as dynamical systems, mathematical finance and materials science / continuum mechanics. A number of our faculty participate in cross-disciplinary initiatives like the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.

In addition to tenured and tenure-track faculty, the applied math group currently has three Visiting Assistant Professors, and typically 20 to 25 PhD students, a few MA students, and about 5 MS students. The applied math group has a weekly seminar series featuring internal and external speakers and occasionally hosts small conferences.
