Re­search Cen­tre for Math­e­mat­i­cal Mod­el­ling

The Re­search Cen­tre for Math­e­mat­i­cal Mod­el­ling (RCM²) is a cen­tral aca­d­e­mic in­sti­tu­tion of Biele­feld Uni­ver­sity that pro­vides a com­mon plat­form for the ap­pli­ca­tion of math­e­mat­ics, in par­tic­u­lar in the sci­ences. Since its foun­da­tion in the early days of this uni­ver­sity, the Cen­tre’s wide scope of math­e­mat­i­cal re­search has been a unique fea­ture of the uni­ver­sity.

RCM² in­cludes re­searchers from six fac­ul­ties: Bi­ol­ogy, Eco­nom­ics, Pub­lic Health, Math­e­mat­ics, Physics, and Tech­nol­ogy. The aim of RCM² is to stim­u­late close co­op­er­a­tion be­tween sci­en­tists from such dif­fer­ent fac­ul­ties in order to ef­fec­tively ex­plore new top­ics of cross-​disciplinary rel­e­vance.

The cur­rent main focus of the cen­tre is on re­search projects in math­e­mat­i­cal bio­sciences, math­e­mat­i­cal data sci­ence and math­e­mat­i­cal physics.
