The Mathematical Sciences programme has funded six multidisciplinary centres, each worth around £1 million. They connect mathematics (including statistics) to other disciplines in the remit of EPSRC (engineering, materials, IT and computing science, physics, chemistry and life sciences interface).
- The Bristol Centre for Applied Non-linear Mathematics
Professor S J Hogan, Engineering Mathematics Department, University of Bristol This centre focuses on developing the mathematical understanding of the engineering challenge of real time dynamical systems.
- Interdisciplinary Programme for Cellular Regulation: Mathematical Architecture of Biological Regulation
Professor David Rand, Department of Mathematics, University of Warwick The group at Warwick applies mathematics and statistics to the understanding of cellular recognition.
- Bath Institute for Complex Systems
Professor Chris Budd, Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Bath The centre will exploit the increasingly blurred distinction between mathematics, statistics, and computation, to analyse large complex systems such as those found in biology and engineering.
- National Centre for Statistical Ecology
Professor Byron Morgan, Inst of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Kent; Professor Steve Buckland, School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of St Andrews; Dr Steve Brooks, Statistical Laboratory, University of Cambridge This centre will develop novel statistical methodology for the analysis of complex data sets arising in ecology.
- Multidisciplinary Critical Mass in Computational Algebra and its Applications
Dr Steve Linton, Department of Computer Science, University of St Andrews This centre will develop new and exciting links with other disciplines, helping researchers in Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics understand each others issues, problems and techniques.
- New Frontiers in the Mathematics of Solids
Professor Sir J.M Bell, Mathematics Institute, University of Oxford. This centre will develop a broadly based programme of research on the mathematics of solid mechanics and computation of solutions, concentrating on three important areas of applications - formation of patterns of microstructures in alloys, fracture mechanics and applications to medicine. |
