Dist. Prof. Steinberg hosts research visitor from New Zealand
Oct. 30, 2026
Prof. Steinberg hosts Ryan Thompson from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zeland in late October. They work together on continuous orbit equivalence of Deaconu-Renault systems from Ore monoids acting by local homeomorphisms on locally compact, Hausdorff and totally disconnected spaces.

See below for a CCNY created video featuring several of our students answering the question "Who studies mathematics?"
Thank you to Matthew Grimaldi, Melisa Stillo, and Aliou Dibassy for eloquently sharing your thoughts on this! Thanks also goes to Jason Redman who did a great job of putting this video together.
NSF Computational Mathematics program awards grant to Prof. Li
Sept. 16, 2026
Assistant Professor Weilin Li
received a National Science Foundation grant from the Computational
Mathematics program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences. The
three-year $215,000 award "A rigorous optimization framework for
high-resolution parameter estimation on the continuum" begins
September 2026. The award supports Prof. Li's work on understanding
and improving optimization in environments with noisy data.
This project develops a general optimization framework for continuous parameter estimation by constructing objective functions with provably favorable geometric properties. The research seeks to establish conditions under which informative minima lie close to the true parameters, possess large basins of attraction, and can be located efficiently using local optimization methods, while spurious minima remain shallow and can be avoided through a rejection strategy. A central goal is to show that these properties are governed by an underlying correlation kernel, providing a unified theoretical framework for a broad class of parameter estimation problems. The framework will be analyzed and validated through three representative applications: wave-based imaging, sparse decompositions, and reconstruction from noisy random rotations. For each application, the project will establish theoretical recovery guarantees and develop computational algorithms that exploit the underlying problem structure to achieve high-resolution parameter estimation.
