Theory Group   The Computing and Communications Theory Group
performs research and maintains expertise in the theory,
methodology, and application of discrete mathematics for
application to the NIST measurement science program; in
particular, maintains and applies expertise in mathematical
subdisciplines such as combinatorics, graph theory, network
science, operations research, optimization, discrete nonlinear
dynamics, computational geometry, quantum mechanics, and
information theory, for application in such areas as the study
of fundamental models of physics, chemistry, biology, and
information systems, complex systems analysis, pattern
recognition, and quantum computing and communications; in
collaboration with NIST and outside scientists, develops,
analyzes, and applies related mathematical methods and tools for
critical problems of measurement science at NIST; develops
mathematical foundations for the measurement science of
information systems.
