Overview

About the programme

One of the most intriguing problems that is ubiquitous in virtually every aspect of life is how to predict the outcome of a future event in which uncertainty plays a role.

Our research sets out ambitious tasks aimed at developing rigorous techniques needed to solve new and important problems of this kind within the mathematical framework of probability and stochastic processes. This Probability degree is offered at The University of Manchester.

Programme Structure

Research:

establishing fundamental existence and uniqueness results for stochastic equations
studying distributional properties of core sufficient statistics and random geometry of fundamental objects
deriving optimal solutions to a variety of optimisation problems for stochastic processes
utilising derived results in numerous applications such as performance of atomic clocks in satellites in relation to global navigation
optimal detection of hidden targets in relation to sonar and deep space applications
determination of resistance and support levels in technical analysis of financial data
climate modelling
image analysis
security
