MAGNUS — Mathematical Analysis, Geometry, Numerics and Systems — is a research cluster within the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente that unites researchers working at the interface of rigorous analysis, geometric foundations, and modern numerical computation. We investigate complex systems through precise mathematical modelling, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and the study of geometric structures — spanning partial differential equations, functional analysis, differential geometry, quantum systems theory, and mathematical robotics. This commitment to mathematical depth, combined with a keen eye for physical relevance, defines the distinctive character of MAGNUS as a research community.
Through strong ties to national and international networks such as NDNS+, 4TU.AMI, the JM Burgers Center, and AI in Mathematics, MAGNUS fosters a uniquely multidisciplinary environment in which mathematical depth and physical insight go hand in hand — training the next generation of mathematicians for impactful careers in both academia and industry.
