The applied mathematics group at Durham University uses a range of mathematical and computational tools, from asymptotic analysis and dynamical systems theory to high-performance computing, to explore a variety of problems in the physical and biological sciences. Often this is done alongside collaborators in other scientific disciplines.
Geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics, convection, magnetohydrodynamics
Geophysical fluid dynamics, numerical methods, turbulence, wind energy
Dynamical systems, mathematical biology, pattern formation, PDEs
Dynamical systems, mathematical biology, applied stochastic analysis, PDEs
Biological fluid dynamics, fluid–structure interactions, lattice Boltzmann method
Applied topology, biofilament mechanics, protein structure and dynamics, DNA topology
Viscous fluid dynamics, microswimmers, suspensions, rheology, scientific computing and visualisation
Solar physics, magnetohydrodynamics
Magnetohydrodynamics, scientific computing, solar physics
On Wednesday 11 March, the Department of Mathematical Sciences was delighted to welcome Professor Mary Rees FRS from the University of Liverpool as the speaker for our annual International Women’s Day lecture. Colleagues, students, and visitors from across the University joined us for an insightful talk, followed by a drinks reception.
