Fundamental Research

Fundamental research addresses the advance of knowledge in fundamental areas of science and humanities, including philosophy, linguistics, mathematics, statistics, econometrics, theoretical physics and geophysics, physical chemistry and mathematical biology/ecology. It is basically grounded on theoretical paradigms and fosters insight-inspired topics that do not have obvious or immediate application. Some of the sub-themes include fluid physics, high energy physics, mathematical analysis, discrete mathematical systems, differential equations and dynamical system, modeling, fractals, chaos and theory of computing.
