Research Groups & Research Areas

• Basic Mathematical Information

  Mathematical information is an area of study focused on information technology and its accompanying mathematics. It is concerned not only with addressing social challenges through the application of mathematical ideas accrued over millennia of human history, it is also used in conjunction with the field of information science to come up with entirely new mathematical approaches and methods. Students in basic informatics and mathematics will study information communications and information security technology theory as it pertains to quantum information, graph theory, cryptographic theory and other topics.

• Information and Data Science

  Information and data science is an area which holds great promise for society in its ability to use the diverse abundance of information (data) saturating our world to create new knowledge and value. Researchers develop new data analysis methods backed by correct mathematics which are applied in a broad range of areas, including public data, genomics data, health care data, and sports data, to elucidate new, scientifically grounded findings.
