Research by Faculty Members
John Friedlander is known for findings in “prime spin distribution in number fields, estimates for character sums, applications of sieve methods and quadratic problems in number theory.” Edward Bierstone and Pierre Milman constructed an “understandable proof of a famous theorem in algebraic geometry.[1] Velimir Jurdjevic’s research focuses on the “Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations, Control Theory, and Global Analysis”.[2] Doctor Asset Rinof’s research is in “Combinatorial Set Theory, especially around the combinatorics of singular cardinals”.[3] Jaimal Thind works on “Representation Theory, Combinatorics, Algebraic Geometry, Category Theory and Low Dimensional Topology”.[4] Lisa Jeffrey focuses on “Symplectic Geometry, and Geometric Applications of Quantum Field Theory”.[5] Work in “Dynamical Systems, Renormalization and Universality, Computational Complexity in Dynamics, [and] Applications to Mathematical Biology and Medicine” is researched by Michael Yampolsky.[6] Konstantin Khanin focuses on the “Probability Theory, Ergodic theory, [and] Statistical Mechanics”.[7] Mircea Voda focuses on researching the Geometric Function Theory.[8]
