General Information

Students who have earned a GPA of 3.7 or higher and taken at least 18 credits in the program have the option to write a Master's thesis under the supervision of a Mathematics faculty member. In certain cases involving interdisciplinary research, a second advisor outside the Department of Mathematics may be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies.

All students must submit the  Master’s Thesis Proposal and Advisor Form.pdf , outlining the research plan for the thesis which has been approved by the thesis advisor, to the Program Administrator at least four months prior to the graduation date. The completed Master's thesis must be approved by two readers -- the thesis advisor and a second reader. At least one of the readers must be a full-time Courant Mathematics faculty member.

Seminar for Applied Mathematics

Student projects and theses, student projects.

If interested please contact the lecturer offering the project.

Note: Most projects are suitable for both students of mathematics and computational science and engineering.

Our research group focuses on the study of stability and regularization of ill-posed problems which arise in various applications. For such problems conventional solvers yield unreliable outputs, so that regularization techniques are necessary to produce trustworthy solutions. Research topics include medical imaging, phase retrieval (with application in coherent diffraction imaging and audio processing) and the vulnerability of deep neural networks. Theses projects on these topics are available, with possible emphasis on either implementation or analysis.

Our goal is to develop new mathematical models and methods of broad utility to science and engineering and to make fundamental advances in the mathematical and physical sciences themselves. We have been developing mathematical and computational frameworks to achieve super-resolution in biomedical imaging. Our work on biomimetics focuses on elucidating mechanisms exploited by bats and weakly electric fish for imaging. Nanophotonics is the study of electromagnetic wave phenomena in media structured on the same lengthscale as the wavelength, and is also a very active area of study in our group. Thesis projects on these current topics of research are available on request.

The research of the group of S. Mishra focuses on the design, analysis and efficient implementation on state of the art high performance computing platforms, of robust numerical methods for nonlinear partial differential equations, particularly of the hyperbolic type, and their application in fluid dynamics, plasma physics, astrophysics, climate science and geophysics. We also address fundamental mathematical questions of well-posedness of nonlinear hyperbolic PDEs, particularly in the context of novel solution frameworks such as statistical solutions. Numerical methods, of the finite volume, finite difference, spectral and discontinuous Galerkin finite element type are developed in the group. Another focus area is on computational uncertainty quantification i.e efficient calculation of uncertainties in the solutions of PDEs that are driven by stochastic initial/boundary conditions, parameters and chaotic dynamics. Student projects for Bachelor, semester and Masters thesis are available on the whole range of topics from addressing fundamental mathematical questions to the design of efficient algorithms, HPC implementation and interesting applications.

This study explores the influence of guided versus unguided navigation strategies on visuo-spatial working memory (VSWM) and further investigates whether metacognitive awareness (MA) predicts this relationship. Fifty-seven participants took part in two conditions of the Corsi Block Tapping Task: the classic unguided version (CBTT) and a modified version, the Corsi Landmark Tapping Task (CLTT), which utilized landmark integration and a map context to represent guided navigation. VSWM was measured using memory span scores and reaction times (RTs). Additionally, participants completed a tailored version of the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) to measure their MA levels. Results revealed no significant difference in memory span scores (VSWM) or RTs, although unguided navigation showed better VSWM on average (W = 270, p = .976). Regression analyses showed that MA did not significantly predict VSWM performance in either navigation condition (CBTT: F(1, 52) = 2.73, p = .104; CLTT: F(1, 52) = 0.25, p = .621). The insignificant findings may be attributed to the task's simplicity or within-subject design, which may have inadvertently led to training effects. Our results challenge current theories stating that MA should enhance the effectiveness of navigation strategies. Future research should explore the influence of navigation strategy on VSWM using more complex tasks that are able to capture the nuances involved in such a relationship, and a more diverse sample.
