Overview

Design and construction decisions are increasingly made by means of virtual prototyping and as part of Computer Aided Engineering. Efficient simulation tools in all areas of engineering are prevalent and sought-after. The increasing availability of computational resources since the mid-twentieth century has nurtured the growth of a simulation industry, serving the needs of end-users in the manufacturing sector. At the heart of these simulation methods are mathematical models, which have traditionally been physics-based models using differential equations. In more recent times, data-driven approaches using machine learning have also enjoyed widespread success.

The Computational and Industrial Mathematics research group develops bespoke mathematical and numerical models for problems arising in both engineering and the natural sciences, starting from the mathematical model at the core of the problem. Based within the Mathematical Sciences team and forming part of the Department of Physics and Mathematics, the group’s expertise spans both physics-based and data-driven models.
