Our Research

There is a long-standing tradition of research in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, dating back over 100 years to the pioneering work of (opens in a new window)Arthur Conway in Algebra and Relativity and (opens in a new window)William McFadden Orr in Fluid Mechanics and Spectral Theory. The school today continues in this tradition and fosters collaborative research across the Mathematical Sciences and also, excellence in diverse but specific fields, ranging from Real Algebra to Relativity.

The School is ranked first nationally for research in Mathematics and Statistics and Operations Research, and features in the World’s top 150 universities in these subjects also. The school comprises a diverse international faculty of about 50 permanent academic staff covering a large area of Applied and Computational Mathematics, Mathematics, and Statistics. 

The school receives extensive support for its research from industry, national funding agencies, and European funding agencies.  The school currently hosts two ERC grant-holders, two Marie-Curie fellows, and acts as a node for one Marie-Curie Research Innovation Staff Exchange.  The school also supports basic and fundamental research across the Mathematical Sciences from its own resources, and every year commits to supporting visiting lecturers, distinguished speakers, and talented research students, the latter through the school’s well-established Research Demonstratorship programme.
