Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) - Mathematics - Applied Mathematics

Applied Mathematics is a specialised research area within the Mathematics postgraduate research programmes (PhD), offering opportunities to engage in advanced theoretical and applied research across a range of mathematical topics. The programme supports work in areas such as fluid mechanics, wave propagation, structural and solid mechanics, numerical analysis, scientific computing, and mathematical modelling, as well as more specialised topics including inverse problems, homogenisation, and memory effects.

Research in this area focuses on developing mathematical methods and computational techniques to address complex real-world problems across science and engineering. Students gain expertise in both analytical and numerical approaches, enabling them to model, analyse, and solve challenging systems in a variety of applied contexts.

The programme benefits from strong research funding and collaborative initiatives, including involvement in the EPSRC Portfolio Partnership in Complex Fluids and Complex Flows. This provides additional support and opportunities for research in areas related to fluid dynamics and complex systems, enhancing the overall research environment and student experience.
