Research in Mathematics

UT Tyler Department of Mathematics

The mathematics faculty at UT Tyler are very active in research, particularly in the areas of functional analysis/operator algebras, graph theory, and number theory/combinatorics. Faculty members in each group are listed below, along with specific research interests and either selected publications or a curriculum vitae for each. There is also significant overlap and collaboration across research groups.
