My name is David O’Sullivan and I am currently pursuing a PhD in complex contagion on clustered networks. Many systems find a natural interpretation as a complex network where nodes identify the objects of the system and the links between nodes represent the presence of a relationship or interaction between […]
Read moreArterial stents have revolutionised the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). Acting as a supporting scaffold, these small mesh devices are now routinely inserted into arteries where the blood flow has become dangerously restricted. Over the past decade, arterial stents have evolved from bare metal scaffolds to polymer coated drug-delivery […]
Read moreMy name is Kevin Moroney. I’m a PhD researcher in industrial mathematics in the MACSI group in the University of Limerick. Unlike more traditional PhD research which explores and develops a central topic in great detail, my PhD is based on a number of smaller collaborative projects of interest to […]
Read moreIn financial engineering the pricing of options and derivatives is a major field of interest. The behavior of assets is in general described via stochastic differential equations (SDEs). With the help of the Ito formula options prices can be shown to be solutions of parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Especially if option prices are […]
Read moreMy name is José Pedro Silva and I am a PhD-Student at the Applied Mathematics and Numerical Analysis Group at the University of Wuppertal together with an Early-Stage Researcher position in the ITN-Strike project. My PhD topic orbits around the use of Model Order Reduction in financial markets, with focus […]
Read moreMy name is Zuzana Nedělková and I am a PhD student in the optimization group at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg. My research project TyreOpt – Fuel consumption reduction by tyre drag optimization financed by the Swedish Energy Agency is done in cooperation with […]
Read moreSeven Finnish universities have joined their efforts to teach mathematical modelling in Finland with the help of the World Wide Web. By bundling the resources and expertise, they managed to offer modelling courses that would otherwise be beyond the capabilities of the individual universities. The collaboration started 2002 as a […]
Read moreMy 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 […]
Read morePeter Howell has been working in Oxford on extensional thin layer flows with application to the glass industry for the last 20 years. He first studied the evolution of thin sheets and jets of viscous fluid by taking a mathematical limit where the aspect ratio (the ratio of the thickness to […]

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Industrially Focused Mathematical Modelling (InFoMM), is based at the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford. This unique 4 year programme facilitates the training of doctoral students in real world mathematical problems. Roxana Feier writes about her experiences so far: “I am a […]
