AFOSR: MATHEMATICS, INFORMATION AND LIFE SCIENCES
Air Force Office of Scientific Research
Mathematics, Information and Life Sciences Directorate (NL)
Dr. Genevieve Haddad, Director
The Mathematics, Information and Life Sciences Directorate is responsible for research activities in mathematics, information and life sciences. A wide range of fundamental mathematical, information and computer sciences, biology, and behavioral research is supported to provide the Air Force with novel options to increase performance and operational flexibility. Although the program descriptions that follow are specific sub areas of interest, there is interest in exploring novel ideas that bridge the disciplines. Many critical research activities are multidisciplinary and involve support from the other scientific directorates within AFOSR. The interfaces between disciplines often provide the insights necessary for technological advances.
