The five main research areas of the Department are: algebra and discrete mathematics; analysis; applied mathematics and mechanics; stochastics and statistics; systems analysis and operations research. We offer major and minor studies at the bachelor's and master's level and provide doctoral research training. Our graduates have been recruited by universities, research institutes, governmental agencies as well as companies in the financial, energy and transportation sectors, for instance.
Huilian Jia (Xián Jiaotong University) 4.9.2017–31.10.2018
Ryan Gibara 29.3.–31.8.
Juha Videman 23.4.–22.6.
Håkon Jacobsen 21.6.–2.7.

Mikael Laaksonen, M.Sc.(Tech.), will defend the dissertation "On Numerical Solution of Multiparametric Eigenvalue Problems" on 10 August 2018 at 12 noon at the Aalto University School of Science, lecture hall M1, Otakaari 1, Espoo. In the dissertation, methods for solving vibrations of structures with uncertainty in the material coefficients or the computational domain are studied.
Prof. Dr. Daniel Kressner, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, will act as the opponent. Custos is Professor Nuutti Hyvönen, Department of Mathematics and Systems Analysis. Dissertation press release is available at: http://sci.aalto.fi/en/current/events/2018-06-07-004/.
Tom Gustafsson, M.Sc.(Tech.), will defend the dissertation "Finite Element Methods for Contact Problems" on 20 June 2018 at 12 noon at the Aalto University School of Science. In the dissertation, the discretization of variational inequalities using mixed finite element methods is studied. A special focus is on stabilized finite element methods and their reinterpretation as Nitsche-type formulations.
Professor Peter Hansbo, Jönköping University, will act as the opponent. Custos is Professor Rolf Stenberg, Department of Mathematics and Systems Analysis. Dissertation press release is available at: http://sci.aalto.fi/en/current/events/2018-05-08-007/.
Pekka Lehtelä, M.Sc.(Tech.), will defend the dissertation "Generalized solutions to the porous medium equation" on 18 May 2018 at 12 noon at the Aalto University School of Science. In the dissertation, the connections between various classes of generalized solutions to the porous medium equation are studied.
Professor Matteo Bonforte, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, will act as the opponent. Custos is Professor Juha Kinnunen, Department of Mathematics and Systems Analysis. Dissertation press release is available at: http://sci.aalto.fi/en/current/events/2018-04-05-002/.
