Research Training Groups

In June 2007, the National Science Foundation has awarded THREE Research Training Group (RTG) grants to our department.

• Program in Applied and Computational Analysis (NSF award)

  The analysis program is hosted jointly by the Math Dept and ICES. The goal is the creation of a model program in applied and computational mathematics that includes enhanced undergraduate research experience, reduced time to graduation, a stronger background in applicable mathematics for graduate students, and the highest level of postdoctoral mentoring. The analysis program runs a series of summer workshops for select college students.

  • 2008 Summer School: Multiscale Modeling and Analysis
  • 2009 Summer School: Financial Mathematics
  • 2010 Summer School: Long Term Behavior of Nonlinear Systems
  • 2011 Summer School: Analysis, PDEs and Mathematical Physics
  
  
• Unified Approach to Training in Geometry (NSF award)

  The geometry program is a vertically integrated program to enhance the training of undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral associates at the University of Texas. The RTG training activities are designed to promote a unified view of geometry and, more broadly, of mathematics and science to young mathematicians.

• Program in low-dimensional topology and its applications (NSF award)

  The topology program is focused on training in low-dimensional topology and its applications.
