Reader in Applied Mathematics

Research: Publications and Gallery

I am interested in regular and chaotic dynamics, most recently that of open systems, and methods of statistical physics, for example applied to wireless networks. These investigations have taken diverse directions, from black holes to lasers. A full list of topics can be found on the publications page.

Animation of anomalous diffusion in the Lorentz gas: An example of how convergence in distribution does not imply convergence of the moments (4.8M).

Meeting organisation: Nonlinearity scientific meeting (London, September 2005), Dynamical Systems and Statistical Mechanics (Durham, July 2006) Molecular Dynamics, Thermostats and Convergence to Equilibrium (Edinburgh, Nov 2008) Mathematical Billiards and Their Applications (Bristol, June 2010)

Postgraduate students: Current student: Riz Rahman. Former students: Orestis Georgiou and Teil Howard.

Opportunities: (Postdoc, postgrad, undergrad research) I am very happy to support applications of future research leaders for EPSRC, Leverhulme and/or Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowships. Well motivated students seeking an undergraduate term-time or summer project, MSc project, or PhD project, please come and discuss options. As well as standard PhD projects, there are opportunities in the Communications CDT. I am now fully booked for 2012-3 undergraduate projects.

Undergraduate lectures: Current units: The new unit Applied Dynamical Systems (now live!) and parts of 1EM/1ES/1FM/1FS
Past units: Applied Mathematics 2, Applied partial differential equations 2, General Relativity, Mathematical Methods, Special Relativity and Statistical Mechanics.
Postgraduate lectures: Four lectures on cosmology ps pdf and one on open billiards and applications pdf
