| Astrophysics
Planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, and beyond ... all the stuff of Astrophysics. How are they formed, and how do they evolve? What do they tell us about our past, and our future? Observation and modelling form the twin pillars of astronomical research, and mathematics is the tool and the language we use to understand and to probe our data and to build our models. |
| Atmospheric science
Will it rain on the weekend? Can we forecast the next El Nino? Is the climate changing? Our research in atmospheric science seeks to answer questions like these, and underscores the relevance of science to society. Atmospheric science is a modern interdisciplinary subject, drawing heavily on applied mathematics, fluid dynamics, physics, chemistry and computer science, and our research and graduate training programs are an exciting blend of field experiments, theoretical analysis, numerical modelling and data analysis. |
| Pure mathematics
Pure mathematicians deal with the ideal, the beauty of perfection. They imagine the unimaginable. And magically, such constructions become the basis for applied mathematics to solve the most concrete problems. |
| Statistics
Statistics is the science for learning from data. Statisticians employ sophisticated mathematical and numerical methods to seek out the truth in the data, and assist researchers and businesses to make informed decisions in the face of uncertainty. |
