Research
Centers
The majority of Department of Mathematics research activities is pursued through Research Centers. These include:
- Centro de Análise Matemática, Geometria e Sistemas Dinâmicos
- Centro de Matemática Computacional e Estocástica
- Grupo de Física Matemática
- Security and Quantum Information Group, a part of the Associate Laboratory IT.
A small number of Department members is affiliated with other research centres or has no current affiliation.
Former research centers include:
Scientific areas
The department is organized into eight research/scientific areas:
- Algebra and topology
- Differential equations and dynamical systems
- Geometry
- Logic and computation
- Mathematical physics
- Numerical analysis and applied analysis
- Probability and statistics
- Real and functional analysis
In particular faculty positions open in one or more of these areas.
Faculty
The department has currently about 80 faculty members, making it the largest mathematics department in Portugal.
