Research

Researchers in the School of Mathematical Sciences develop original mathematical and computational methods that can be used to find real-life solutions to real-life problems such as:

• financial markets and how they operate; 
• risk assessment and management
• market research and choice modelling
• experimental design in science, the social sciences and commercial world
• managing the operations of complex businesses and other organisations (including production planning & scheduling, logistics)
• modelling the physics of advanced materials for the next generation of communications technology
• analytics and data mining (finding useful structure in large multivariate data sets)
• data confidentiality
• statistical methods for genome-wide association studies
• theoretical ecology and population biology (eg wastewater engineering;  bioaugmentation strategies for land clean-up;  biofuel production).
