Academics from within the UCD School of Mathematics and Statistics are affiliated with a number of research centres and institutes.
Institute for Discovery
The Institute for Discovery, formerly UCD CASL, is an interdisciplinary incubator for UCD-led research and projects. The Institute provides the supports to incubate cutting edge and potentially high-risk research ideas to the University’s research community. Several members of the School of Mathematics and Statistics are working in the Institute for Discovery.
Insight Centre for Data Analytics
(opens in a new window)The Insight Centre for Data Analytics undertakes high impact research in data analytics that has significant impact on industry and society by enabling better decision making.
UCD Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research
The School is involved in a collaboration with Conway Institute Researchers applying statistical methods.
UCD Earth Institute
The UCD Earth Institute is unique in Ireland. It has the range and depth of expertise to understand the relationships between energy, the environment, climate change and hazards; to relate science to policy, and support the challenge to meet our climate change and energy obligations; to inform the public and policy process; and to commit to making Ireland an innovation hub for green technologies.
UCD Energy Institute
(opens in a new window)UCD Energy Institute plays an integral part in the energy transition, endorsing a net zero carbon energy system, promoting modernised integrated energy systems while empowering the citizen through education, innovation and digitalisation.
SFI Marine Renewable Energy Ireland Centre
The School of Mathematics and Statistics is part of (opens in a new window)MaREI, the SFI Research Centre on Marine Renewable energies (MREs). The main goals of MaREI are to transform the MRE sector in Ireland by applying science and engineering research to find solutions to the major barriers to large scale deployment and to create a dynamic R&D environment that fits the networked, integrated, and interdisciplinary nature of the MRE development community.
The School of Mathematical Sciences is carrying out world leading research aimed at the development of analytical models of the efficiency of wave energy devices, non-linear wave mechanics, computational fluid dynamics tools to predict impact loading on wave energy devices, and nearshore wave forecasting software.
UCD Centre for Quantum Engineering, Science, and Technology
The UCD Centre for Quantum Engineering, Science, and Technology brings together expertise in quantum research from across the University in the Schools of Physics, Mathematics & Statistics, Engineering, and Computer Science. With over 25 permanent academic staff as members of the Centre, UCD C-QuEST is the leading quantum research hub in the Nation's Capital, providing a gateway for industrial partners and spin-out companies.
Centre for Research Training (CRT) in Foundations of Data Science
T(opens in a new window)he Centre for Research Training in Foundations of Data Science, funded by Science Foundation Ireland and Skillnet Ireland and supported and facilitated by Technology Ireland ICT Skillnet, is a large-scale collaborative initiative between the University of Limerick, University College Dublin, and Maynooth University. The Centre combines the expertise of world-class academics, international collaborators and industry partners, to create a centre of excellence in PhD training.
