Northeastern University professor Calina Copos is using computational techniques to study limb regeneration in axolotls. The findings could advance research on wound healing and aging.

The Mathematics Department held its annual Awards Ceremony on April 23, 2026, recognizing students, faculty, and community members for their outstanding achievements over the past year.  From academic excellence and research innovation to teaching, outreach, and service, the event highlighted the breadth of work shaping the department’s community. Awards were presented by Associate Teaching Professor Evan Dummit, chair of the...

In the Bridge to Science/Bridge to Calculus Summer Program, students dive into STEM, financial literacy, and enrichment activities while building confidence and curiosity. They spend a summer of exploration, creativity, and hands-on learning in math, science, and technology. Read more below for a recap of the enlightening summer our high school scholars had during the...

During the Dialogue of Civilizations in Budapest, Hungary, led by professor Gabor Lippner, students work on problems that look nothing like typical mathematical exercises.

The Bridge to Calculus Program has been a smashing success, and over the past few years it has expanded. It now offers courses in physics, biology, chemistry and more.

Richard Porter, professor of mathematics, is retiring after 50 years at Northeastern!

For Kimi Nguyen, an applied mathematics master’s student with concentrations in data science, being selected as the student speaker for the 2025 College of Science Graduate Celebration represents a fitting conclusion to her Northeastern journey.  “It is a tremendous honor,” Nguyen says. “As a PlusOne student who also completed my undergraduate degree here, Northeastern has...

I presented my abstract On Differentiable Correlation Functions at the American Astronomical Society Winter Session Meeting in Baltimore, MD. My work is important because it enables gradient-based optimization, enabling cosmologists to relate correlations to astrophysical model parameters. In my current extensions to this work, I have shown that it enables a new class of uncertainty quantification and alternatively...

“This election is a coin flip,” says Matan Harel, a Northeastern University assistant professor of mathematics.

We are delighted to welcome new faculty members with primary appointments in the College of Science whose teaching and research builds the Good Power of Science, trains the next generation of science professionals, and solves crucial research challenges.

Researchers from Northeastern University are improving their epidemic models by incorporating collective behavioral patterns.

The program has two components to help students get ahead during the summer months. Students can either take part in internships offered at more than 30 departments on campus or participate in the university’s long-running Bridge to Calculus: a Bridge to Science program, a seven-week intensive summer program aimed to help Boston high school students get a better handle on their math skills before heading back to class in the fall; this year’s program was expanded to include physics, chemistry and biology.
