Mathemateg

Why undertake a PhD with the Department of Mathematics at Aberystwyth University?

Aberystwyth University has a proud tradition of research excellence, as demonstrated in the most recent Research Excellence Framework assessment (REF 2014), which placed the university in the top 50 institutions for research power and intensity.

The Department of Mathematics submitted almost 90% of our staff to REF2014, the highest proportion of any Welsh mathematics department. Results show that 1 in 8 of our research outputs are world leading, and more than 60% are either world leading or internationally excellent. All of our research and the impact it has outside universities was judged to be of an international standard.

We have a dedicated Physical Sciences library on campus that houses excellent research material for the study of mathematics, physics and computer science, including the Scott Blair Collection, a comprehensive and important resource for the study of rheology. 

• Mathematical Modelling of Structures, Solids and Fluids: this group covers diverse problems in solid and fluid mechanics and mathematical analysis.
• Quantum Structures, Information and Control: this group works in the area of quantum systems in interaction with their environment, and in particular the emergent field of quantum computing and information.
• Statistics: this group’s interests include the application of statistical shape analysis to biological data sets and the statistical analysis of high-dimensional biological data sets. 

Researchers in all groups are involved in wider collaborations, both within the university and beyond. 

Ein Staff

Mae’r holl ddarlithwyr yn yr Adran Mathemateg wedi’u cymhwyso i lefel PhD ac yn weithgar ym myd ymchwil. Mae gan y rhan fwyaf gymhwyster addysgu uwchraddedig ac mae’n rhaid i staff newydd gwblhau’r TUAAU. Mae’r adran hefyd yn cyflogi nifer o diwtoriaid rhan-amser, sydd â phrofiad dysgu eang, a rhai arddangoswyr sy’n cael eu dewis o blith ein myfyrwyr israddedig ac uwchraddedig.
