Founded in 1998, the Institute of Mathematics and Physics of Jiangnan University is a university-level institute, aiming at engaging in mathematics, physics and applied research. Since its establishment, the Institute has conducted a series of research works in the areas of mathematical science theory and application, physical science theory and application, and their interdisciplinary fields. In recent years, the Institute has devoted itself to the development of many disciplines and gained abundant achievements, such as logical theory in information processing, intelligent computation in information processing, non-linear theory and methods in information processing, algebra and combinatorial mathematics, theory and application of optical information, semiconductors and laser technology and optical thin film technology and optical design. It is particularly characterized by the research of mathematical physics and informatics. In the past five years, the Institute has successfully hosted 16 national, provincial and ministerial-level scientific research projects, which has been funded over 3 million Yuan. Till now, more than 500 papers have been published in international and domestic journals and international conferences, most of which are indexed by SCI, EI, and ISTP.
