We produce leading research in specific fields within environmental mathematics, numerical analysis, mathematical physics and mathematical biology.
We organise and carry out our research activity in five research groups.
Applied and numerical mathematics research groups
Complex Fluids and Theoretical Polymer Physics
This group focuses on the structure and dynamics of complex fluids, with polymeric fluids being the overarching theme.
Data Assimilation and Inverse Problems
Data assimilation (DA) is used in weather, ocean, and climate science to find the trajectory of a model by combining numerical models with observed data.
Mathematical Biology
Research in Mathematical Biology covers two main themes - Systems Biology, Medicine, Neuroscience and Pharmacology, and Food, Supply Chains & the Environment.
Numerical Analysis and Computational Modelling
Numerical analysis research in Reading is primarily focused on solving differential equations numerically. The group develops and analyses algorithms in order to model a range of physical phenomena.
