Reader in Applied Mathematics

Research: Publications and Gallery

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

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)

Opportunities: I am very happy to support applications of future research leaders for EPSRC, Leverhulme and/or Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowships.

Undergraduate lectures: Current units: Parts of 1EM/1ES/1FM/1FS and Applied partial differential equations 2
Past units: General Relativity, Statistical Mechanics, Special Relativity, Applied Mathematics 2 and Mathematical Methods.
Postgraduate lectures: Four lectures on cosmology ps pdf
One lecture on open billiards and applications pdf
Postgraduate research: Current student: Riz Rahman. Former students: Orestis Georgiou and Teil Howard.
Prospective students: Well motivated students seeking an undergraduate term-time or summer project, MSc project, or PhD project are very welcome to come and discuss options. For 2012, there are two new options I would be pleased to discuss with prospective PhD students: Studentships in Mathematics (includes EU/overseas fees!) and in Communications.
