I am interesting in supervising PhD theses in a number of areas, including inverse problems in differential equations, optimal control, stochastic PDEs and MCMC methods; all are related to a range of interlocking problems in applied mathematics arising in areas such as data assimilation and molecular dynamics. Candidates with a good undergraduate training and interest in at least one of the following are sought: computational differential equations, PDE analysis and stochastic processes. My current research is focussed on five problem areas, detailed here. The research will be related to problems arising in one or more of these five areas. Queries about the research activities should be directed to: Andrew Stuart, a.m.stuart@warwick.ac.uk Positions include the possibility of working towards a combined MSc./PhD with the first year involving coursework towards the MSc, either in Mathematics or in Scientific Computing.
Students will be able to devote their whole time to research. However there are numerous opportunities to engage in small-group teaching at Warwick, and this is encouraged.
From October 2008, applications can be made on-line by visiting the Warwick postgraduate admissions web-site Please arrange to send your supporting documents (original academic transcripts and two academic references) to The Graduate Admissions Team, University House, University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 8UW, UK. Applicants are encouraged to apply, or make an expression of interest, as early as possible. The awards may be made at any time. For information about the funding of PhDs at Warwick please follow this link. Queries about the application process should be directed to the mathematics postgraduateadmissions coordinator: Carole Fisher, postgrad@maths.warwick.ac.uk
