These projects are for advanced mathematics students, students with summer scholarships and masters-by-coursework students (minor project).
If you interested in taking a six credit-point project please contact me to discuss possible topics. The projects I have on offer involve the application of mathematics to problems in areas such as analysis (applications to image science), business & politics (including electoral systems), chemistry (including wine fermentation), combustion, drying of particles, economics, epidemiology & virus dynamics, food engineering, industrial mathematics, Laplace transforms: Solving linear PDEs, mathematical medicine, physics, population models, the mathematics of search engines, synchronisation, and the mathematics of tennis and similar games. The mathematics usually involves either applied non-linear differential equations or applied non-linear difference equations.

These projects are for honours students and masters-by-coursework students (major project).
If you are interested in taking an honours/course-work masters project, please contact me to discuss possible topics. I'm in the process of constructing a page that will contain examples of specific projects for honours students. At the moment there isn't much information on this page! As an indication of the areas in which I am interested in offering a project please read the list of potential projects that I offer to advanced mathematics students. For honours/course-work masters projects I am primarily interested in supervising projects that align with my research interests and may not be willing to supervise some of the projects in this list. However, if you have an idea for a project and you think that I might be the right person to supervise it then please contact me so we can discuss your idea!
