The research team investigates mathematical structures that are important in several basic areas of mathematics like geometry, representation theory, functional analysis, differential calculus or theory of approximation. The motivation also comes from outside mathematics, from computer science or physics where some of the mathematical structures that are studied are called upon as models. By application of methods from category theory the ...

AATO is part of the VUB Department of Mathematics. We do research in analytical and categorical topology, in algebraic topology and in approximation theory. 1. Categorical Topology. Study of mathematical structures that are important for models in informatics and in the fundamentals of physics. We apply methods from Categorical Topology to study the relation between these mathematical structures, to study the compatibility of their ...

The research activities in the Zoology research unit basically concern the study of genetical and phenotypical variation of Men. During the past decades, our research activities were mainly focused on problems of human growth and development. Studies of genetic influences on growth and maturation through the analysis of familial and twin data have thrown more light on the impact of heredity and environment on human development. Various ...
