Research Areas

"A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems" - Alfréd Rényi, Hungarian Mathematician, 1921-1970.

The department faculty are active researchers in a wide range of mathematical areas.  The research areas of each faculty member are listed below.  Recent publications by department faculty can be found here.

The faculty make a big effort to include students in their research projects. Current and prospective students are invited to communicate directly with any faculty member with whom they may have common interests.
