Applied Mathematics Research
The applied mathematics research group in
the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at
the University of Nevada Reno consists of
6 full time faculty and 1 postdoc.
Our research covers both continuous
and discrete applied mathematics and
focuses on the following fields.
- Dynamical systems,
control theory,
fluid dynamics,
differential equations and
computational mathematics.
- Game theory, combinatorics and operations research.
The applied mathematics research group actively collaborates with
probability and statistics, geosciences, hydrology, seismology,
computer science and engineering.
Our work is motivated by problems in
business, economics,
physical sciences and engineering.
Areas of focus include ground water, climate, health, optimal
strategies, multiphysics problems, fluid dynamics and
engineering applications.
For more information please look at our recent
publications.
