Research

Department of mathematics faculty have diverse research interests, from data analysis to computer vision to biological modeling to statistical prediction to astronomy and everything in between. Students have many opportunities to be involved in research collaborations with department faculty and in interdisciplinary teams with faculty and students from other departments. The primary research areas of our faculty are listed below.

Karen Braman, Professor of Mathematics
Numerical linear algebra and multilinear algebra.

Kyle Caudle, Associate Professor of Mathematics
Non-parametric statistics, computational statistics, time series forecasting, and massive data streams.

Brent Deschamp, Assistant Professor of Mathematics
Combinatorial matrix theory, graph theory, and modeling.

Martha Garlick Grieve, Associate Professor of Mathematics
Mathematical biology, mathematical ecology, applied math and Bayesian statistics.

Patrick Fleming, Assistant Professor of Mathematics
Finite geometry and non-associative algebras.

Roger Johnson, Professor of Mathematics
