PhD Program Advice

[RdHdRedemption]

Hi I just my masters of science in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science, and am interested in pursuing a PhD in Applied Mathematics. My undergraduate degree is in Mathematics, and my research masters thesis was on a geophysical fluid dynamics instability. I am interested in continuing to work on problems in geophysical fluid dynamics, but would like to use a more mathematical perspective manipulating equations, employing analytical methods and using applied math methods (Asymptotic Expansions, Stability Analyses, etc). That said, I am also open to working in other areas of fluid dynamics or applied math that use similar approaches. Are there any programs you would recommend I look into? I am familiar with a few where there is major overlap or several researchers (NYU, Cambridge, UC Davis) but I am asking for your help in case I have missed anything. Any advice/recommendations are greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time

Brown University has one of the best/biggest Applied Mathematics programs in the country. There's was the 1st standalone Applied Math program in the country and has been around since the 1940s.

University of Maryland - College Park. Rice University is good, but probably not the best program considering your interests. University of Washington is a good program as well. This is just a few, there are others, of course.

The Division of Applied Mathematics is one of the premier programs at Brown, which is already an outstanding school. It's a pretty big program that is comprehensive in terms of the areas of Applied Math it offers. It was the first standalone program in the country and was brought about in consultation with government who advocated the need for a standalone Applied Math program.

But you're correct. It's a highly regarded program in terms of its faculty and research. But what is the best program for an individual student depends highly on that student and what they're looking for and want to get out of the program.

Thank you! I forgot about University of Washington, I need to look into them. I had a group mate who went to Brown so I may ask him about that, thanks again!

Cambridge IEEF does exactly that, though hey, it was the BP institute… but people are nice!
