Research at the School of Mathematical Sciences
Our School diverse research projects range from developing innovative mathematical models to applying mathematics in various fields, such as cybersecurity, healthcare, and education. Our research is centred around three dynamic themes, blending traditional mathematical disciplines with multidisciplinary challenges:
1. Data-Driven Modelling and Computation
We advance data-based methodologies and algorithms, driving progress in areas such as disease modelling, image analysis, and microalgae growth. Our collaborative research results in interdisciplinary applications, significantly in engineering, physical sciences, and medical sciences.
2. Algebra and Arithmetic
We explore a core area of pure mathematics to boost cybersecurity innovation, creating stronger cryptosystems with enhanced security and improving computational complexity with algebra. Our researchers specialise in Nonassociative Algebra and Loop Theory, essential in the field of cryptography.
3. Teaching and Learning Mathematics in Higher Education
We develop and evaluate innovative teaching methods grounded in the latest educational research, aiming to elevate student learning both within our Department and across the broader academic community. Our work focuses on improving the teaching and learning of mathematics to ensure accessibility while nurturing interest.
