Research sections

Our research activity spans across six research sections and groups. Find out more details about each group below.

Applied mathematics

Our research is highly interdisciplinary and often finds application in a wide variety of fields from medical and healthcare, to the energy and oil industry, civil engineering, and geophysics.

Pure Mathematics studies the properties of abstract objects and concepts (such as numbers, functions, spaces, graphs and even reasoning itself), usually motivated by their own intrinsic interest or beauty rather than by specific applications outside of mathematics.

Stochastic & Financial Mathematics

Stochastics is the newest cluster of the department. We are engaged in research and education in probability theory, stochastic processes and statistics.

Theoretical Physics

Partnerships

The Department of Mathematics has a strong track record working with a wide number of external companies, organisations, charities and government departments on collaborative research projects, consultancy work and student activity.

AIMS

This partnership facilitates the emergence of new research collaborations between Liverpool academics and leading African scientists and supports the development of the next generation of scientists in Africa.

Industrial partners

We work with a range of external partners on collaborative research, consultancy and student activity. Find out more about how we can collaborate and how to get in touch.

Fellowships and other opportunities

We welcome applications for independent research fellowships and also offer a range of studentships for postgraduate study.

Research centres

Research centres are typically funded by large grants from a learned society or research council. A research centre brings together experts from different groups and departments who share an interest in a common theme and supports collaboration through activities such as postdoctoral projects, seminar series, workshops and conferences.

Centre for Mathematical Imaging Techniques (CMIT)

This Centre views the development of mathematical techniques as key for imaging science. The team of applied mathematicians tackle real life problems by developing techniques for scientists and engineers to use.

Environmental Radioactivity Research Centre

This Centre brings together experts from across Mathematical Sciences, Geography, Physics and Earth Sciences to carry out radiometric dating of sediments within the University facilities.

Liverpool Centre for Mathematics in Healthcare

This Centre brings toegther a large multidisciplinary team of mathematicians, statisticians and healthcare researchers, clincians and industrialists to address key challenges in healthcare.

Research Centre in Mathematics and Modelling (RCMM)

This Centre provides a focus for attracting external funding to support interdisciplinary modelling projects and to promote and support research activities which require significant mathematical involvement.
