Applied Mathematics
Applied Mathematics
Our faculty engages in research in a range of areas from applied and algorithmic problems to the study of fundamental mathematical questions. By its nature, our work is and always has been inter- and multi-disciplinary. Among the research areas represented in the Division are dynamical systems and partial differential equations, control theory, probability and stochastic processes, numerical analysis and scientific computing, fluid mechanics, computational molecular biology, statistics, and pattern theory.
Applied Mathematics is an inherently interdisciplinary subject which applies to many problems that arise in the physical, life and social sciences as well as in engineering.
Our graduate program provides training and research activities in a broad spectrum of applied mathematics.

George Karniadakis has been selected as a Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellow
Professor George Karniadakis has been selected as one of the nine distinguished faculty scientists for the 2022 Class of Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellows. This Fellowship is the DOD's most prestigious award, as it recognizes research that can lead to "extraordinary outcomes." One area of research seeks to develop generalized neural networks that can learn nonlinear multi-operators and that can solve problems at a high level of abstraction. The goal of this work is is to develop new algorithms for biologically-inspired neural operators.

Professor Hongjie Dong receives a mid-Career Research Achievement Award
Professor Hongjie Dong is a recipient of a mid-Career Research Achievement Award. Professor Dong is a leading expert in the field of partial differential equations which help to analyze the laws of physics and engineering. He has developed novel tools to analyze elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations, and applies his expertise to the theories of composite materials, fluid dynamics and kinetic theory.
