The applied mathematics PhD program caters to individuals aspiring to conduct cutting-edge research in the field. This doctoral program fosters independent research capabilities while offering adaptability to align with emerging research prospects. Enrolled PhD candidates may earn a master's degree upon successfully finishing their initial year of study.
Faculty specializing in applied mathematics engage in diverse research utilizing mathematical approaches including asymptotic analysis, bifurcation theory, computational science, differential equations (both ordinary and partial), graph theory, probability and statistics, perturbation methods, stability analysis, and stochastic modeling.
These analytical techniques are applied to solve complex challenges across multiple domains such as biological systems, combustion dynamics, complex network analysis, diffusion modeling, fluid dynamics, earth sciences, interface phenomena, materials engineering, cellular biology, neuroscience, nuclear reactor design, structural mechanics, statistical physics, transport mechanisms, and wave dynamics.
Successful applicants typically have good grades in relevant mathematics courses, good GRE quantitative scores, and strong letters of recommendation.
Relevant courses that we look for are:
Advanced calculus
Real analysis
Partial differential equations
Linear algebra
Complex analysis
Numerical methods or their equivalent
The only minimum we set is for the TOEFL, on which an international applicant must score 600 or higher on the paper-based test, 250 or higher on the computer-based test, and 100 or higher on the Internet-based test. On the IELTS, an applicant must score 7.0 or higher. There is no minimum requirement for GRE scores.
