Research interests of the actuarial science faculty include a number of areas at the intersection of actuarial science, quantitative risk management, applied probability, and statistics.
Some of the main research areas are Quantum Groups and Hopf Algebras, Lie Theory & Algebraic Groups, Representation Theory, and Noetherian Rings.
Research topics include Real Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, and Functional Analysis.
Applied mathematics research develops and analyzes mathematical models, methods, and algorithms to solve real-world problems.
Many research topics are included as well as opportunities for teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and fellowships.
Research involves numerical analysis for integral equations, partial differential equations (finite difference, finite element, domain decomposition), and optimization.
The Probability Group runs an active seminar that meets twice per week. Topics range from discussion of well-known results that are not typically covered in classes to presentation of current research.
