Head of Group Dr Dave Jerwood

Mathematics is a key specialism in much of the research in the School, the majority of it intimately linked to Computing specialisms, such as Network Theory, Optimisation and Quantum Computing. However, a group of staff with Mathematics as their primary specialism also exists; their interests can be illustrated by the titles of recent key papers:
