Mathematics Research Groups

Algebra
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
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
Continuum mechanics, arguably the crown jewel of classical physics, deals with the kinematic and mechanical behaviour of materials modelled as a continuum.

Mathematical Biology and Healthcare
The main focus of mathematical biology research in Birmingham is multiscale modelling of a variety of biological and medical systems.

Optimisation and Numerical Analysis
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.

Topology and Dynamics
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.
