Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics

The Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics was established in 2017. It currently offers 2 undergraduate programs, a master's program and a doctoral research program (4 directions).

The Faculty launched its undergraduate program in "Mathematics and Applied Mathematics" in September 2017, which was subsequently recognized in 2019 through Guangdong Province's educational reform project titled "Innovation and Research on Cultivating Interdisciplinary Talent at the Convergence of Applied Mathematics and Computer Technology through First-Class Undergraduate Program Development."

The Faculty successfully completed its bachelor's degree accreditation process and obtained undergraduate degree-granting authority in June 2021, followed by the launch of its "Applied Mathematics and Technology" master's program in September of the same year. In October, the mathematics discipline was selected as a key construction discipline under the "First-Class, Gap-Filling, and Characteristic-Building" Enhancement Initiative, while November saw the "Mathematics and Applied Mathematics" program being included in Guangdong Province's First-Class Undergraduate Program Development Plan.

In June 2022, the undergraduate course "Optimal Control" was rated as the first-class offline undergraduate course in Guangdong Province in 2021. In September 2023, the doctoral program "Mathematics and Mechanics" was opened; in the same month, the Department of Mathematics was awarded the title of Advanced Unit of Education Work in Shenzhen in 2023.

The Faculty achieved significant milestones in 2024, with its "Mathematics and Applied Mathematics" program being approved as one of the first supported disciplines under Guangdong's "Long-Term Foundation Plan" for basic sciences in January, followed by the launch of an undergraduate program in "Information and Computational Science" in September to further diversify its academic offerings and disciplinary structure.

In terms of faculty development, the institution has employed 65 full-time faculty members as of 2024, mainly from the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics at Lomonosov Moscow State University. The faculty team includes 13 professors, 49 associate professors or above, and 64 PhD holders. The high-level talent team consists of 1 academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2 corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 1 foreign member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, 1 scientist ranked in the global top 2%, 1 national-level talent, 1 Changjiang Scholar Distinguished Professor and National Outstanding Young Scientist Fund recipient, 2 candidates for national high-level talent programs, 1 Guangdong Provincial Leading Talent, and 1 Shenzhen Outstanding Young Scientist..
