The Department of Mathematics at Penn State University has a unique and active group in fluid dynamics - which includes strengths in numerical analysis, complex fluids, and laboratory experiments. The presence of the Pritchard Lab in our department was conceived to conduct high precision experiments which, when allied with analytical and computational approaches, affords a three-pronged attack on fundamental questions of natural phenomena.

Here is a listing of the associated faculty in our department.

Students who have an interest in either computation or physical phenomena in the context of mathematics are strongly encouraged to apply to the Graduate Studies Program in our department.

The Deadline for Application is: January 15, 2010.   Overview including How To Apply
