Why choose Nottingham for your PhD?

We're looking for passionate research students to help us shape the future of mathematical sciences and make a difference to the world around us.

Our research projects range from proposing new mathematical structures and uncovering new fundamental physics, to using mathematical sciences to produce sustainable materials, enhance future healthcare, and develop artificial intelligence.

Work is organised around exciting research themes, some of which focus on more traditional areas and others target emerging and multi-disciplinary problems:

• algebra, arithmetic, and their geometries

• computational statistics and machine learning

• data-driven modelling and computation

• epidemic modelling

• fluid mechanics

• geometry and symmetry

• gravity

• mathematical medicine and biology

• mathematical neuroscience

• multiscale modelling and heterogeneous media

• numerical and applied analysis

• quantum information and metrology

• quantum mathematics

• real, complex and functional analysis

• symbolic computational mathematics

• teaching and learning in mathematics higher education

• wave modelling
