Uday Banerjee

Uday Banerjee is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Syracuse University, affiliated with the College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on numerical solutions of elliptic PDEs, particularly using finite element methods, meshless methods, and generalized finite element techniques to address non-smooth coefficients and interface problems. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Maryland (1985), an M.Sc. from the Indian Institute of Technology (1978), and a B.Sc. from Patna University (1975).

His recent work emphasizes approximation properties, error estimation, and implementation challenges in numerical methods. Key contributions include penalty-free SGFEM for interface problems and stable generalized FEM for crack analysis.

Banerjee has served as Chair of the Department of Mathematics (2014–2020) and holds roles in university governance, including serving on promotion and tenure committees. He teaches courses like MAT 331 (Linear Algebra) and MAT 581 (Numerical Methods).
