Computational modeling in a variety of settings

Computational modeling applies to physical or mathematical models of the real world, including computer network systems and algorithms.

• Numerical data analysis

• Statistical data analysis

• Visual data representation

Research

Active research areas include amorphous systems, polymers, wave propagation in random media (including ocean acoustics), computational solution of partial differential equations, computational algebra, discrete mathematics, AI, machine learning, big data and analytics, computer engineering, blockchain, cybersecurity, bioinformatics, computer vision and robotics.

Faculty Highlight: Dr. James Lambers

Advisor to the first and only SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) student chapter in Mississippi. Since 2014, the chapter has provided students from across the mathematical sciences with an outlet for networking activities, including tailgate parties, fundraisers, sponsorship of seminars, career panels, and trips to SIAM conferences for presenting student research. Dr. Lambers’ research connects to image processing and oil recovery and many of his students are funded by external fellowships.
