Applied Mathematics

Our research is highly interdisciplinary and often finds application in a wide variety of fields from medical and healthcare, to the energy and oil industry, civil engineering, and geophysics. We have strong collaborative links with industry, other academic institutions, and NHS Trusts.

The Applied Mathematics cluster consists of three research groups in Mathematical Biology, Imaging and data science, and Waves and Continuum Mechanics, covering a diverse range of application areas. 

Mathematical Biology

Mathematical Biology

The group carries out mathematical research applied to a wide range of biological problems, including population dynamics, epidemiology, evolution, systems biology and biological fluid dynamics.

Imaging & data science

Imaging & data science

The group is interested in developing new and novel mathematical imaging theories and techniques for tackling a large class of real life problems from the emerging field of Imaging Science.

Waves and Continuum Mechanics

Waves and Continuum Mechanics

This group researches various areas of Applied Mathematics, including asymptotic analysis, wave propagation, cloaking, ultrasonic evaluation, metamaterials, homogenisation, dynamic fracture, phononics, and platonics.
