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: Jichun Li

•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.
