Vision
The Simon A. Levin Mathematical, Computational and Modeling Sciences Center (MCMSC) builds and supports research collaborations across the mathematical, statistical, biological, environmental, and social sciences to address complex issues facing society. The center also runs long standing programs that train the next generation of cross-disciplinary scholars to be mathematical scientists that solve problems and improve the human condition.
Center goals
To promote and support cross-disciplinary research between the biological, environmental, and social sciences and the mathematical and statistical sciences
To develop novel theoretical, computational, and modeling frameworks that integrate knowledge over multiple temporal, spatial, and organizational scales
To develop and implement innovative training programs that bridge disciplines and prepare scholars for careers involving rigorous applications of theory, data analysis, and modeling
To provide a welcoming, supportive culture for all scholars and research collaborators
Research areas
MCMSC members organize collaborative, cross-disciplinary research activities to solve some of the most important issues facing society involving biological, environmental, and social systems. These research collaborations also have led to the development and implemention of innovative theoretical and computational methods for multiscale modeling and data analysis in areas such as:
- Public Health
- Infectious Disease
- Social Dynamics
- Human-Environment Interactions
- Neuroscience and Neurodegenerative Disease
