Reach the highest level of academic achievement in mathematical modeling, 机器学习, 理论计算机科学.

Computational Science is concerned with the construction of mathematical models to solve problems in science, 技术, 工程与数学. This is accomplished through the design and implementation of numerical, 概率和统计模型, 机器学习 理论计算机科学. The methods and applications are necessarily cross disciplinary.

A typical example is the use of topological data analysis—which has roots in algebraic topology in pure 数学—to analyze protein data or large data clouds. Other examples include environmental modeling via image processing, risk management and forecasting in finance via stochastic simulations, which in turn can be used in computational 生物学 to understand the roles of non-coding RNA in cancer.

The 计算科学博士 Program at 马塞诸斯州大学波士顿 coordinates and promotes multidisciplinary exchange of ideas among 研究ers and graduate students. The program involves faculty and graduate students in various departments at the 理学院s and 数学. Departments currently participating in the program include: Biology, 化学, 计算机科学, 工程, 物理与数学. The program is built on the existing strong scientific collaborations among faculty and industry partners. Graduates from the program are expected to be competitive for securing positions in academia or at companies seeking expertise in data analytics and high-end implementation of computational modeling.

您可以从以下曲目中选择:

  • 数据分析
  • 生物信息学

如何申请

申请人还必须符合 一般研究生入学要求 in addition to the following program-specific requirements:

  • Applicants will be required to determine the track they are interested in pursuing (数据分析, 生物信息学, or 计算物理学) and demonstrate adequate preparation at the undergraduate level in the form of relevant coursework and 研究 experience.
  • 给n the multi-disciplinary nature of the Computational Science program, we expect that our applicants will be undergraduates with bachelor of science degrees in computer science, 数学, 生物学, 化学, 物理, or graduates with master’s degrees in these areas.
  • Applicants are required to take the general GRE test.
  • The program requires three letters of recommendation submitted with the application.

转让要求

Students who transfer to the Computational Science program will receive transfer credit or advanced standing for their previous work if they can demonstrate course equivalency. Credits for previous work will be given at the discretion of the Program Committee. Transfer students will still be required to pass written and oral qualifying exams and fulfill all other candidacy requirements.
