Our research is organised into five broad themes:

Analysis, Analysis of  Partial Differential Equations, Probability, Stochastic Analysis

Applied Mathematics, Computational and Industrial Mathematics, Mathematical Biology and Epidemiology

Optimization, Operational Research, Statistics and Actuarial Mathematics

Algebra, Geometry, Topology, Algebraic Geometry, Mathematical Physics

Technology Enhanced Mathematical Sciences Education

Funding

Our research attracts support from a wide range of sponsors

Our most significant funders are EPSRC, STFC, ERC, Leverhulme Trust, the Institute & Faculty of Actuaries and the Society of Actuaries (USA). The £34M  generated over the past seven years has been overwhelmingly spent on delivering our research strategy through support of staff, postdoctoral associates and postgraduate research students. Some of the recent large awards are listed below. Our investment in the the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS) has recently  been rewarded by a £5M grant from EPSRC’s Additional Funding for Mathematical Sciences which finances  a considerable expansion of the centre’s activities started in October 2020.
