We are known for crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries and have productive collaborations with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê departments and interdisciplinary centres in areas ranging from engineering to women’s health, experimental biology to disaster reduction.
Beyond Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê and academia, the departments' research is used in a wide variety of organisations and application areas: national security, medicine and healthcare provision, and the aeronautical, food and sporting sectors are just some areas where Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's mathematical sciences research has contributed directly to improved performance and associated economic benefits. Specific examples include the design of improved aircraft ice protection systems, allowing safer operation; tools such as risk calculators for heart surgery that are influencing clinical practice; increased understanding of issues related to noise propagation from infrastructure including roads and wind turbines, resulting in changes in thinking about freeway noise mitigation strategies; and methodology that is being used by energy companies to improve the operational management of power plants so as to reduce energy costs.
