BAKING THE CARBON CAKE Homogenisation Applied to the Electrical Calcination of Carbon Materials

October 30, 2018 abcnicola

By Caoimhe Rooney The metallurgy industry is a gold-mine for mathematical treasures, from partial differential equation models describing crust formation (which notoriously hinders furnace operation), to population balance equations explaining the formation and growth of microsilica particles (which impacts the performance of composite materials). Through the collaboration of the University […]

A Critical Analysis of Cereal Extrusion

October 22, 2018 abcnicola

Michael McPhail A number of popular cereal products are made using a manufacturing process known as extrusion. There is a stage during this process in which some of the liquid component of the cereal mixture changes phase into a gas. The subsequent evolution of gas will affect the thermodynamic and […]

Silicon Anodes in Lithium-ion Batteries

October 16, 2018 abcnicola

By Ian Roper Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are used in mobile phones, laptops and electronic vehicles and thus make up a large proportion of the energy storage industry. The performance of an LIB depends heavily on the materials used for the anode and the cathode. Graphite has been the industry’s most […]

New MSc at the University of Oxford – ‘OMMS’

September 26, 2017 amue2

The new Oxford Master’s in Mathematical Sciences (or ‘OMMS’) will admit its first cohort of students in 2018-19. This master’s degree spans interdisciplinary applications of mathematics as well as recognizing fundamental questions and themes. Students can choose from many different pathways, tailoring the programme to their individual interests and requirements. […]

Modelling deep-sea oil spills

September 19, 2017 amue2

(by Rachel Philip.) In a deep-sea oil spill, a broken pipe near the seabed (containing a mixture of oil and water) can result in the release of a high-speed jet into the surrounding ocean. The jet’s shearing motion will typically cause the oil to break up into smaller droplets, which […]

Industrial case-studies with the InFoMM CDT

October 27, 2016 lauramay8

I am in my second year of study with the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Industrially Focused Mathematical Modelling (InFoMM). In this program, we undertake a year of training in cutting-edge mathematical techniques and learn about many aspects of industry, before choosing and working on our DPhil in years […]

Using mathematics to realise the potential of a novel soil-based filter.

October 19, 2016 imgriffiths

The Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta is a global hotspot for arsenic groundwater contamination. Naturally occurring arsenic concentrates in water drawn from deep tube wells, creating a major public health issue in West Bengal and Bangladesh, described as the “largest mass poisoning of a population in history”. Arsenic mitigation technologies mostly rely on allowing […]

European Summer School in Modelling, Analysis and Simulation Crime and Image Processing

February 23, 2016 abatkai

In this summer school we focus on the mathematical topics of crime and image processing which currently attract a lot of attention both from mathematical research and from real-world applications, but where these two sides are rarely taught together. The summer school will combine a traditional research school that introduces […]

UTM-CIAM: A cooperation of UTM with OCIAM

November 2, 2015 amue2

The Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in Johor Bahru, Malaysia has founded a Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 2012 in cooperation with OCIAM. They have already held three Study Groups with Industry in 2011, 2014, and 2015. Currently Assoc. Prof. Ali H. M. Murid and PhD student Amir S. […]

Communities in time-dependent networks

October 29, 2015 amue2

My name is Marya Bazzi and I recently finished my PhD in applied mathematics at the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. The main focus of my thesis is cluster (or community) detection in time-dependent networks. But before going into that, a little bit of context: I started my […]
