Our graduate students often go on to become postdocs and faculty in academic institutions, and to work as applied research mathematicians for government agencies, as industry scientists working in data analysis, and as researchers in biotech companies. Our faculty also participate in cross-disciplinary undergraduate programs, such as computer science, physics, systems and mechanical engineering, and operations research and statistics in the business school.
