Research Overview

The School of Mathematical Sciences champions interdisciplinary research in the field of mathematical sciences that is both theoretically-driven and strong in real-world applicability. From mathematical modelling to applied statistics and risk management, our research demonstrates the beauty of numbers and algorithms, and their usefulness in decision-making and problem-solving.
