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 five MS 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.  
  • Professor Sarah Muldoon delivers session on analyzing neuroimaging data across scales
    11/3/20
    Statisticians from across upstate New York will descend on UB May 2-4 for UP-STAT 2022, the 10th joint conference of the Upstate Chapters of the American Statistical Association. Sarah Muldoon, associate professor in the Department of Mathematics, UB College of Arts and Sciences, will deliver a special invited session on modeling and analyzing neuroimaging data across scales. Visit the conference website.  Read the story by David J. Hill.
  • Professor Naoki Masuda wins JSPS Prize
    2/26/20
    The University at Buffalo Department of Mathematics is pleased to announce that Dr. Naoki Masuda, Associate Professor, is the winner of the JSPS (Japan Society for Promotion of Science) Prize 2020. The national award recognizes his work, “Pioneering Research on Theory and Data-Analysis Methods for Temporal Networks”. Dr. Masuda attended the JSPS Awards Ceremony in February, 2020, accompanied by his daughter, Ami Masuda. The JSPS 2020 Award included full funding of their travel to Japan. While there, Dr. Masuda and Ami participated in an exclusive audience with the Japanese Royal Family.
