Key facts

The research work of the Mathematics team of the University has been widely recognised. In the latest UK-wide Research Assessment Framework (REF2021), over 81% of the mathematics research was rated world-leading or internationally excellent. The academics have won and benefited from grants, including from the London Mathematical Society, the Swedish Research Council and other leading funding agencies. The academics' research interests range across both pure and applied mathematics. 

Programme Structure

Areas of research include:

  • Group theory, algebra and combinatorics. Particularly groups acting on various geometric, combinatorial and algebraic objects. 
  • Mathematical logic and set theory. In particular, the comparison of foundational theories and the study of the structure of their models. 
  • Numerical methods for fractional ordinary (partial) differential equations in both the deterministic and stochastic case, finite element methods, internal and boundary controls for the parabolic equation, and numerical methods for (stochastic) integral equations. 
  • Machine Learning and Deep Neural Networks for solving differential equations.
