Overview

Ph. D. in Mathematics is a doctoral program offered by the School Physical Sciences, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amaravati, Amritapuri, Bengaluru, Coimbatore and Kochi  campuses.

About the Program

Block Image
Amaravati

A PhD program in mathematics is an advanced academic journey focused on deepening students’ understanding of mathematical theory, developing their research skills, and preparing them for careers in academia, industry, or government. Typically lasting around 4-6 years, these programs involve rigorous coursework in advanced mathematics topics such as algebra, analysis, geometry, and topology, along with specialized electives tailored to students’ research interests.

One of the central components of a PhD in mathematics is the dissertation, where students conduct original research under the guidance of a faculty advisor. This research contributes new knowledge to the field and demonstrates the student’s ability to think critically, formulate hypotheses, and solve complex mathematical problems.

Additionally, PhD students in mathematics often engage in teaching or assistantship duties, gaining valuable experience in communicating mathematical concepts and working collaboratively with peers and professors.

Successful completion of a PhD program in mathematics opens a range of career opportunities, including tenure-track positions at universities, research positions in industry or government agencies, or roles in fields such as finance, data science, and cryptography.

Amritapuri

Ph.D. program in Mathematics aims to develop expertise in a specific mathematical area, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to contribute new knowledge to the field.  Mathematics encompasses diverse areas, each with its own unique focus and application. Some broad categories are Stochastic Modelling and Analysis, Semi-group Theory, Number Theory, Machine and Deep learning, Graph Theory and Combinatorics, Inverse problems, ill-posed problems, and numerical analysis, Metric Fixed Point Theory, Genome Rearrangement Problems, Physics informed Neural Networks, Wavelet Analysis.

The main research interest is stochastic modelling and analysis with special reference to Queues, Queueing inventory systems, Reliability systems, Reliability Inventory Systems and Operations Research. In the Semigroups that arise in the context of transformations or mappings, the set is the domain of the transformations. Number theory has applications in various areas of mathematics and beyond, including computer science, cryptography, and physics.

Deep learning algorithms can segment and identify specific structures or abnormalities in medical images, aiding in treatment planning and precision medicine. The integration of deep learning and machine learning into the medical field has the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy, treatment efficacy, and overall patient care.

Graph Theory and Applications deals with the study of various graph parameter bounds incorporated with other mathematical or fuzzy mathematical tools, analysing different aspects and applications of algebraic graph theory in other fields. The main interest comprises of discussions about certain combinatorial objects like magic squares, Kotzig arrays and magic rectangles and applications in design of experiments.

Fixed point theory provides a theoretical foundation for understanding and solving problems involving the stability and existence of solutions under various mathematical transformations. The main research interest is related to coupled fixed point theorems of different contractive type mappings.

Genome rearrangement problems such as reversals, transpositions, and translocations are mathematically formulated as permutations and studied as sorting problems. Physics informed Neural Networks (PINN) which is a recent technique for data-driven solutions of high dimensional PDEs using Deep Neural Networks and look forward to analysing various physical problems related to computational fluid dynamics using PINNs.

Banach spaces and concepts from functional analysis are essential tools in both formulating and addressing well-posed and ill-posed problems.  The main interest is to study different numerical iterative methods to solve non-linear equations and their various types of convergences in Banach spaces and to work on several methods and try to improvise its order of convergence.

Wavelet analysis is a mathematical technique used for signal processing and analysis and it allows for a more flexible representation by using functions that are localized in both time and frequency.

Bengaluru

Since its establishment in 2002, the Department of Mathematics at ASE, Bengaluru, has grown and evolved, focusing on providing research scholars with a strong mathematical foundation and analytical skills. It offers diverse research area, interdisciplinary collaborations, and experienced research guides. From 2007, the Department started offering Ph.D. programs and courses for Ph.D. scholars. Several scholars have already obtained the Doctor’s degree from the Department. Examination for the fundamental course in Mathematics that must be cleared by all research scholars and is conducted by the department in every six months. Currently, 44 research students are doing Ph.D. under the guidance of faculty members of the department. Moreover, our researchers have published numerous high-quality research articles in various international and national journals. In addition, our scholars published quality journal articles as well as reputed conference articles along with their guides.

The department has an ambitious plan to be the best Mathematics departments and to establish an international reputation as a centre for research in Mathematics.
