Applied and Computational Mathematics

What we do

Research activities in our group cover a wide range of topics, many related to: 

  • Partial and ordinary differential equations 
  • Stochastic differential equations 
  • Dynamical systems 
  • Continuum mechanics 
  • Statistical mechanics 
  • Machine learning 

Our research includes mathematical analysis, modelling, and the development and analysis of new numerical methods. 

  • A wide range of applications includes: 
  • complex multiphase flow in porous media and reservoirs 
  • electromagnetism 
  • magnetohydrodynamics 
  • meteorology 
  • finance 
  • neuroscience 
  • population and disease dynamics 
  • geophysical systems 
  • combustion 
  • phase transitions and free-boundary problems 
  • and more general industrial and social modelling 

We have expertise in the full range of numerical techniques with research in: 

  • numerical linear algebra 
  • the discretization of elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) 
  • time dependent PDEs and stochastically forced PDEs 
  • ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and stochastically forced ODEs 
  • integral equations. 
  • Finite and boundary element methods 

We co-organise a regular and very active with the University of Edinburgh School and Mathematics under the umbrella of the . 

The group is closely associated and involved with the running of two EPSRC centres of doctoral training: and the earlier MIGSAA CDT. 

We have close links with other groups in the School:
