Mathematical Sciences Interdisciplinary Research Group

UNE has a proven record in supporting and producing high quality mathematical research, as evidenced by ERA (Excellence in Research for Australia) 2018 ratings of 5 (well above world standard) in Mathematical Sciences and Pure Mathematics. This research group, with particular research strength in partial differential equations and geometry, performs research across a broad range of theory and applications, covering topics of multidisciplinary nature using methods from mathematics, statistics and computational science. Our interests include:

  • Agent based modelling
  • Applied statistical modelling
  • Collective behaviour
  • Combinatorics
  • Computational algorithms
  • Cryptography
  • CR-geometry
  • C* algebras
  • Dynamical systems
  • Emergent pattern formation
  • Modelling in biology, ecology and sports science
  • Operations research
  • Partial differential equations
  • Real and complex differential geometry
  • String theory and quantum field theory
  • Topological Data Analysis
  • Topology
