Research Areas
Our students and faculty are actively engaged in projects in many of these research areas. The students are not limited to these areas and the faculty encourage graduate students to contact them to discuss their ideas. More>
Complex Biological Systems Group RTG
Seminars and Colloquia
During the academic year we hold a weekly department colloquium and a number of research seminars. Once a year the Department holds the Edmund R. Michalik Distinguished Lecture in the Mathematical Sciences.
