Our Faculty and Staff

Computer Sciences

Our computer science faculty has the broad capability and interest to support our graduate and undergraduate programs. Faculty research specialties include computer security, distributed objects, multi-agent systems, machine learning, evolutionary computation, web design methodologies, design automation, formal methods, cryptographic protocols, distributed systems, concurrent system design methodologies, program verification, and bioinformatics.  For more than a decade, the Institute for Information Security at The University of Tulsa has been a leader in the field of information assurance. Our faculty has funded grants totaling about $5 million in a typical year. 

Mathematical Sciences  

The mathematical sciences faculty specializes in classical analysis and applied analysis.  In particular, the Center for Boundary Integral Methods consists of a group of professors developing the theory and applications necessary to solve historically difficult boundary value problems. Other research specialties include:  vortex dynamics, numerical analysis, computational biology, mathemtical methods in bioinformatics, Fourier methods and econometrics.
