Location of University of Bristol
Members of the Department of Engineering Mathematics carry out leading-edge research in areas where mathematics is applied to future challenges in engineering, industry and the life sciences. The Department also makes fundamental theoretical and computational advances. There is a strong tradition of interdisciplinary work, international collaboration and publication in the leading research journals.
The research is supported by grants from public bodies such as the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, the Medical Research Council and the European Union, as well as industry (eg BAE Systems, Jaguar Cars, QinetiQ, Rolls Royce and British Telecommunications Laboratories).
Contents
The Department has two main research groups:
The internationally renowned Applied Nonlinear Mathematics Group is firmly rooted in a culture of solving real-world problems. Applications include traffic flow, optical devices, novel materials, aircraft dynamics, rotating machinery, epilepsy biomechanics and electrical networks. The group also undertakes fundamental research in areas such as: local and global bifurcation theory, manifold computation, mathematical biology, nonsmooth systems, delay differential equations, partial differential equations and control theory. The Artificial Intelligence Group has an excellent international and national profile, with a focus on fuzzy logic, uncertainty in AI, knowledge discovery, machine learning, neural nets, pattern analysis, statistical learning, kernel methods and support vector machines. This includes both fundamental and theoretical work as well as use of these techniques in bioinformatics, climate modelling, semantics, text analysis, robotics and autonomous systems.
