New: MS Program in Computational and Applied Mathematics 12/4/23 The demand for a professional labor force skilled in data analysis and statistical methods, alongside scientific computation and other applied mathematics techniques, and has grown tremendously over the last decade, and all indications are that such growth will further accelerate in the near future. Algebra, Analysis, Calculus, Applied Mathematics, Geometry, Topology and more 4/26/22 Mathematics is a broad discipline with many diverse applications in physical sciences, life sciences, and engineering as well as social and managerial sciences. The Department of Mathematics provides a variety of concentrations leading to Baccalaureate, Masters, and PhD degrees. Active Intellectual Life 4/26/22 The Department of Mathematics is proud of its excellent teaching and active research programs. Several of our faculty members are recipients of the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. A strong tradition of mentorship attracts the most promising individuals and supports their development. 9/15/23 Faculty Research Faculty Research 4/25/22 Each year about one-third of our faculty hold external research grants from agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Security Agency, and the National Science Foundation.

Graduation Ceremonies Countdown to Commencement Miller and Scilla win the 2023 Montague Awards 10/6/23 The UB Department of Mathematics is pleased to announce that Alexandra Miller and Giacomo Scilla are the winners of the 2023 Harriet F. Montague Award. The award was established to commemorate the career of Dr. Montague, who was one of the early graduates the UB mathematics program, and who returned to chair the department for many years. The annual award is presented to one or more UB mathematics majors who have demonstrated intellectual and creative promise in mathematics. Of note, Giacomo Scilla is the recipient of the 2023 Summer Math Scholarship. Destiny Diaz wins NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Award 8/22/20 The University at Buffalo Department of Mathematics is pleased to announce that Destiny Diaz has won the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Award. The prestigious award is one of the most competitive and respected scientific fellowships in the U.S. Diaz is completing a BS in mathematics with a minor in Spanish. Recently, Diaz received 2019 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence. A Buffalo native, she is a member of the University Honors College and a Prosperity Fellow. In Fall 2019, the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship will support her pursuit of graduate study in biostatistics at UB. The award provides three years of financial support within a five-year fellowship period, which amounts to a $34,000 annual stipend and $12,000 cost-of-education allowance to the graduate institution. Yanyan Li presents research poster at SUNY conference and at UB’s Celebration of Academic Excellence 4/11/22 Congratulations to UB Mathematics major Yanyan Li on being selected to present a research poster at two major events showcasing UB’s undergraduate research excellence. Yanyan is studying gene co-expression networks under the guidance of her faculty mentor, Dr. Naoki Masuda . Specifically, she is deploying mathematical and computational methods for searching anomalous genes in networks of co-expression across different human organs, and how such genes may have evolutionary implications. Yanyan is one of the four awardees to present research at the SUNY 2022 Undergraduate Research Conference , held at Buffalo State College on April 23. Yanyan will also present her work at UB’s 18th Annual Celebration of Student Academic Excellence , on April 27, 2022. All are welcome to attend. Giacomo Scilla wins the 2023 Summer Math Scholarship 3/16/23 The UB Department of Mathematics is pleased to announce that Giacomo Scilla is the recipient of the 2023 Summer Math Scholarship. Together with faculty mentor Dr. Gino Biondini, Scilla formulated an undergraduate research project aimed at understanding the classification of two-dimensional wave patterns governed by the solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, with the ultimate goal of deriving efficient methods to generate large ensembles of such solutions. Linda Alegria, UB Math Graduate Student, wins Excellence in Teaching Award 4/25/22 The Department of Mathematics is pleased to announce that Linda Alegria has been awarded the University at Buffalo’s 2022 Excellence in Teaching Award for Graduate Student Teaching Assistants. The award was presented at a luncheon in April, with Satish Tripathi, UB President, and Robin Schulze, CAS Dean, in attendance.

MacLaren, can identify the most predictive data points that a tipping point is near. Published in Nature Communications, this theoretical framework uses the power of stochastic differential equations to observe the fluctuation of data points, or nodes, and then determine which should be used to calculate an early warning signal. The algorithm is unique in that it fully incorporates network science into the process. Marchenko Lecture Series 10/18/22 Join us, October 26, 27 and 28, 2022, for our new lecture series named after Vladimir Marchenko, a Ukrainian mathematician who specializes in mathematical physics.
