Research in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics is focussed in the following areas:
-
Computational Algebra. Research in pure and applicable mathematics is fostered by
the SFI/EU supported de
Brun Centre for Computational
Algebra, Ireland's
leading centre for algebra and its applications. The Centre attracts a continuous
stream of internationally respected research visitors in areas of
algebra, geometry and computation. Research in this area is also
conducted via the Computational
Homological Algebra
Project and the Computational Group
Theory and
Design Theory group.
-
Mathematical Modelling.
Research in mathematical modelling focuses on solving complex problems with real-world applications,
particularly in mathematical biology, biomedical engineering, mechanical and material engineering,
and complex systems, through local, national and international collaborations.
This is exemplified by the recent launch of the Complex
Systems Research
Centre (CORE),
which has already established strong links with scientists in physics, engineering, IT, economics, psychology, etc.
-
Bioinformatics and Statistical Modelling. The bioinformatics research group collaborates with researchers
across the life sciences, particularly in the area of high-throughput genomics and metagenomics, with applications
in cancer and development. In addition, there is an active programme of research in the development and application
of models of pathogen molecular evolution. Research in statistics focuses on both methodology and application,
particularly in biostatistics and as part of BIO-SI, a joint SFI-funded
initiative with the University of
Limerick. The major strength is in statistical modelling, including the development of random effect and mixture models for studying complex, structured sources of variability.
