Center for Applied
Mathematics and Statistics (CAMS)
supports cross-disciplinary
collaborative research teams in
pursuit of competitive grant funding
•Environmental Sciences. The study of interactions
among physical, chemical, and biological components of the
environment. Environmental Science provides an integrated, quantitative, and
trans-disciplinary approach to the study of environmental systems. Project
Leader: Hongtao Yang
•Quantatative Health
Sciences. The broad discipline dealing with mathematical and
statistical models as applicable to biomedical phenomena. The methods
developed can address important problems in a wide variety of areas such as
public health & health policy, disease detection & development of
optimal treatment regimen, clinical trials & drug discovery, identifying
linkages between genes & disease, etc. Some of the prominent subfields are
Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Mathematical Biology and Bioinformatics. Project
Leader: Kaushik Ghosh
•Financial Risk
Management. The creation of economic value through the
mitigation of risk exposure. Financial risk management focuses on strategies
to hedge using financial instruments to manage costly exposures to
risk. Project Leader: Sam Choi
•Quantitative Social
& Legal Sciences. The primary focus of the Social and
Legal Sciences is the examination of the interdependence among individuals, as
well as institutions. Current quantative approaches to these fields, which
began in the late 1700s, allow for the development of methodology for modeling
and decision making which encapsulate this fundamental interdependence.
In this regard, the Center offers expertise in the application and development
of applied mathematical and statistical modeling and computation to address
questions arising in these sciences for academic, governmental, and industrial
purposes. Project Leader: Anton Westveld
CAMS Provides
Centers of Research Excellence
•Scientific Computation. The field of
study concerned with constructing mathematical models and numerical solution
techniques and using computers to analyze and solve scientific and engineering
problems. In practical use, it is typically the application of computer
simulation and other forms of computation to problems in various applied
disciplines.
•Control and Optimization.
Including inter-disciplinary mathematical and computer modeling efforts,
optimization and application of advanced technologies to decision-aiding,
scientific and engineering problems from conceptual design through
implementation.
•Probability &
Statistics. The scientific method of decision making in the
presence of uncertainty through theoretical and data-driven
techniques. Primarily pertains to the collection, interpretation, modeling and
analysis of data. Applicable to a wide variety of academic disciplines such
as the physical, biological and social sciences as well as industry and
government.
