PhD Mathematical Sciences
Overview
There are 12 active research groups in many areas of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, holding research grants from EPSRC, STFC and other sources. State of- the-art computing facilities are available. The Department’s teaching was evaluated in the most recent survey by the Quality Assurance Agency and awarded a total of 23 points out of 24 (excellent).
The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers a wide range of opportunities for postgraduate research in four key areas: Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, and Financial and Actuarial Mathematics and Applied Probability. Our research strength has earned us the top numerical research rating in all four Research Assessment Exercises.
Research themes
Our research themes include:
- Algebraic Geometry,
- Applied Probability,
- Dynamical Systems,
- Financial and Actuarial Mathematics,
- Mathematical Biology,
- Quantum Field Theory and Applications,
- Singularity Theory and its Applications,
- String Phenomenology,
- Waves and Solid Mechanics,
- Research Centre in Mathematics and Modelling (RCMM)
- Centre for Mathematical Imaging Techniques (CMIT)
- Environmental Radioactivity Research Centre (ERRC).
