$Applied Mathematics.$

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, along with some MA students. The applied math group has a weekly seminar series featuring internal and external speakers and occasionally hosts small conferences.

UB Applied Math News and Notes

Barbara Prinari, co-founder and deputy editor, Cambridge Journal of Nonlinear Waves
9/9/24
The UB Department of Mathematics is pleased to announce that Professor Barbara Prinari is co-founder and deputy editor of Cambridge Core's Journal of Nonlinear Waves. Prinari's research adds scope and depth to the journal's editorial board. Problems addressed by Prinari include the development of the Inverse Scattering Transform (IST) as a tool to solve the initial-value problem for scalar, vector and matrix continuous and discrete nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equations with both vanishing and nonvanishing boundary conditions at infinity; solitons and rogue wave solutions; vector soliton interactions, etc.
