Math Faculty Research Areas

Active research across a wide range of topics

The Department of Mathematics at Drexel University features a diverse group of faculty members in the most active research phases of their careers. Faculty research falls into a variety of areas, including: partial differential equations, dynamical systems, mathematical neuroscience, numerical analysis, approximation theory, combinatorics, functional analysis, representation theory, geometry and topology, matrix and operator theory, inverse problems, and stochastic analysis.

Faculty research receives robust support from government agencies including the National Science Foundation and the National Security Agency.
