Research Areas

The UCSD CCoM faculty have research interests that span a wide range of mathematical and application areas, and have collaborative ties that transcend disciplinary boundaries. The research efforts are motivated by challenging, real-world applications in the physical and biological sciences, computer science, and engineering, while being grounded in rigorous mathematics. In particular, it covers the full spectrum of fundamental mathematical research, mathematical modeling and analysis, algorithm development, numerical implementation and software development.
