Vision

To be a world-leading hub for mathematical innovation where ideas, disciplines, and cultures converge to shape the future of mathematics and its role in the sciences.

Mission

We are committed to pushing the boundaries of mathematical thought and fostering a dynamic, inclusive community of researchers and learners. Through pioneering work in pure, applied, and computational mathematics, we bridge mathematics with other disciplines, from physics and data science to biology, medicine, and economics. Our mission extends beyond discovery: we are committed to mentoring the next generation of mathematicians, fostering international partnerships that expand the reach of mathematical education and research, and engaging the public in the beauty and significance of mathematical thought. By integrating rigorous inquiry with global engagement and outreach, we aim to strengthen mathematics as a driving force for understanding and innovation in the modern world.

Hefei-Stony Brook Postdoctoral Program

The Institute for Mathematics and Fundamental Physics (lMFP), based in Hefei, China, and Stony Brook University (SBU), based in Stony Brook NY, USA, jointly offer outstanding postdoctoral researchers in mathematics a prestigious three-year appointment within a stimulating and collaborative research environment. The Hefei-Stony Brook Postdoctoral Program is structured so that researchers spend first year at IMFP and remaining two years at SBU, enabling them to draw on the expertise of two renowned institutions, engage with the complementary strengths of both cultures, and contribute to the advancement of mathematical knowledge.
