People
Our researchers bring to LANS diverse backgrounds, including computer science, applied mathematics, mathematics, and numerical analysis. The diversity is crucial: it encourages us to examine problems from different angles and to interact more effectively with applications scientists. For more information on our principal investigators, see Outreach.
