The Mathemathics Area at GSSI is characterized by four large macro-sectors:
- Applied Partial Differential Equations (PDEs),
- Continuum Mechanics,
- Numerical Methods and Data Science,
- Probability and Statistical Mechanics.
Within these sectors there is a shared interest in problems related to fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and also its applications to data science.
The rigorous analysis of PDEs carried out in our area aims at providing a deeper understanding of ubiquitous physical phenomena, such as turbulence, pattern formation and quantum systems.
Computational methods in fluid dynamics are used at the boundary between applied maths and theoretical engineering in innovative projects like modeling the full heart function.
Numerical linear algebra and numerical optimization help to design new models and numerical algorithms for applications in data mining, machine learning and network science.
The Probability and Statistical Mechanics group focuses on developing mathematical methods to address the emergence of collective behavior in classical and quantum systems.
----------------------------------------------
The Math PhD program at GSSI consists of four years with qualifying exams to be taken during the first year. By the beginning of the second year students select a research project under the supervision of one (or more) of the mathematicians affiliated to GSSI.
