pursued in both theoretical and numerical aspects of differential equations, especially the following subtopics:[1] The centre offers consulting at the individual and institutional levels in applying theory to engineering-related problems and in exposition of underlying mathematics.

[1] The centre has had an active role in training students in areas of applicable mathematics through the IISc-TIFR Joint Programme.

[5] The centre has a program to invite visiting professors, both for disseminating new topics through lecture courses and for research collaboration.

[1] In September 2015, together with Ritabrata Munshi (from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research), K. Sandeep (from the TIFR Centre for Applied Mathematics) obtained the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology in the field of mathematical sciences.

[6] In January 2019, the Indian Academy of Sciences announced that 23 scientists were elected as fellows of the academy, including Sandeep Kunnath (who studies partial differential equation, variational methods, and nonlinear functional analysis) and G D Veerappa Gowda, both from the TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics.
