Mathematical and Computational Ecology and Evolution at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville
A Research and Training Program based in The Institute for Environmental Modeling
with Faculty based in Mathematics, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Computer Science
The objectives of this program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville are:
Research
- To support interdisciplinary research in mathematics, computational science, and ecology;
- To provide research training and supervision for graduate students based in several departments and programs at UTK; and
- To foster scientific interactions and collaborations between quantitative faculty and students and empirical researchers.
- To provide excellent graduate educational training to enable our students to compete for both industrial and academic positions;
- To introduce advanced undergraduates to mathematical modeling methods in the biological sciences; and
- To aid the development of quantitative skills for life science students at all levels.
- To provide an environmental modeling, mathematical and computational ecology connection linking the University to public and private organizations; and
- To provide international education in the areas of mathematical and computational ecology and environmental modeling especially to developing countries.
