Why Surrey?
From geometry, partial differential equations to fluid dynamics, meteorology, statistics and modelling in the life sciences – Mathematics at Surrey offers an extraordinary range of research opportunities that lie at the heart of tackling key scientific questions of our age. Staff at the forefront of their field offer support for innovative research programmes in a lively, inspiring and intellectually stimulating environment.

The research interests of the Department cut a broad swathe through both pure and applied areas of mathematics. A particular emphasis is placed on research at the interface between pure and applied mathematics. Research in the Department is organised into a number of research groups, but there are many overlaps and links between these.

Our research combines the development of new mathematics with innovative applications in areas such as wave energy, industrial ecology, biological systems, theoretical and experimental physics, space mission design and meteorology. Our staff collaborate with many other research groups (both national and international) and we are part of the MAGIC network, which provides a large selection of PhD courses in pure and applied mathematics, so you will be able to explore these fields during your time with us.

Programme overview
Why not read about the experiences of past and present students studying the subject, including Sandra Kaebisch and Linyu Peng?

PhD overview
As a PhD student, you will be trained in research for a career as a professional mathematician, which will allow you to pursue a career in academia, industry, or government.

The PhD programme in Mathematics usually takes three to four years to complete. You will work with one or perhaps two supervisors. You will meet with them on a frequent basis, discuss your research and your career development, and they will oversee your progress and offer advice throughout your PhD studies.

Our research areas:

– Ecology
– Evolutionary biology
– Biophysics
– Metabolism dynamical systems and PDEs
– Mathematical statistics
– Nonlinear PDEs
– Dynamical systems
– Calculus of variations
– Geometry and mechanics
– Quantum field theory, string/m-theory and supergravity
– Gauge/gravity, field theory and string theory dualities
– Topological field and string theory
– Classical and quantum integrability
– Twistor geometry and geometric analysis
– Geometric fluid dynamics
– Mathematical meteorology and data assimilation
– Water waves
– Hydrodynamic stability

Further details are available on the Department of Mathematics Research Interests page.
