Michigan Center for Industrial and Applied Mathematics aims to address the scientific and educational challenges offered by these scientific developments, particularly focusing on targeted industrial collaborations. The goals of the Center are three-fold:

• To develop and coordinate contact intensive partnerships with targeted industries.
• To foster interdisciplinary research activity within MSU, highlighting the interplay between novel computational algorithms and mathematical modeling, as complementary avenues to theory and experiments.
• To provide interdisciplinary graduate education and postdoctoral research opportunities.
