Mathematics Research Groups
Algebra Research Group
Algebra research at the University of Birmingham covers a wide range of topics across group and representation theory.
Analysis
The underlying focus of mathematical analysis is the study of functions. Models that have been developed to study the economic, physical, natural and social sciences describing real-world systems
Combinatorics, Probability and Algorithms
Our research interests lie in combinatorics, the study of random discrete structures and the analysis of randomized algorithms.
Statistics and Data Science Research Group
This group focuses on the mathematical aspects of Data Science and this interdisciplinary methods and theories from Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Computational Science and their related areas.
Continuum Mechanics Research Group
Continuum mechanics, arguably the crown jewel of classical physics, deals with the kinematic and mechanical behaviour of materials modelled as a continuum.
Geometry and Mathematical Physics Research Group
Geometry plays a fundamental role in Mathematical Physics by underpinning theoretical models in relativistic quantum physics, typically by encoding underlying hidden symmetries of the model at hand.
Mathematical Biology and Healthcare Research Group
The main focus of mathematical biology research in Birmingham is multiscale modelling of a variety of biological and medical systems.
Optimisation and Numerical Analysis Research Group
We hold interests in theoretical and combinatorial optimisation, numerical methods for PDEs and integral equations, dynamical systems, numerical linear algebra etc, with a variety of applications.
Quantitative Methods for Finance
The QMF research group utilises mathematical, statistical, and numerical methods to solve complex problems in finance.
Statistics and Data Science Research Group
This group focuses on the mathematical aspects of Data Science and this interdisciplinary methods and theories from Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Computational Science and their related areas.
Topology and Dynamics Research Group
The mathematical theory of dynamical systems is a vital part of modern mathematical analysis, where new theoretical developments have been inspired by applications in physics and nature.
