Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
Join the School of Mathematical Sciences for the chance to work on projects in both fundamental and applied mathematical sciences that have an impact in the modern world. Projects cover the areas of:
Pure mathematics Applied mathematics Mathematical physics Statistics and probability Mathematical education & scholarship. Why choose Nottingham for your PhD?
We're looking for passionate research students to help us shape the future of mathematical sciences and make a difference to the world around us.
Our research projects range from proposing new mathematical structures and uncovering new fundamental physics, to using mathematical sciences to produce sustainable materials, enhance future healthcare, and develop artificial intelligence.
Work is organised around exciting research themes, some of which focus on more traditional areas and others target emerging and multi-disciplinary problems:
-
algebra, arithmetic, and their geometries
-
computational statistics and machine learning
-
data-driven modelling and computation
-
epidemic modelling
-
fluid mechanics
-
geometry and symmetry
-
gravity
-
mathematical medicine and biology
-
mathematical neuroscience
-
multiscale modelling and heterogeneous media
-
numerical and applied analysis
-
quantum information and metrology
-
quantum mathematics
-
real, complex and functional analysis
-
symbolic computational mathematics
-
teaching and learning in mathematics higher education
-
wave modelling
| Level | RQF Level 8 |

Summary
Having completed a research preparation masters degree and agreed your research topic with a supervisor, you will continue your work exploring themes from our wide range of research expertise. As a school we focus on projects across pure and applied mathematics, mathematical physics and statistics. Some current project themes cover research in communications, sustainable materials and healthcare.
Example projects that our researchers are working on include:
-
Analysis of thin feromagnetic films
-
The statistics of nodal sets in wavefunctions
-
Acceleration, black holes and thermality in quantum field theory
-
Modelling DNA chain dynamics
-
Mathematical modelling of macromolecular capillary permeability
-
Geometric integration of stochastic differential equations
-
Language dynamics in networks
The School of Mathematical Sciences research website contains more information on our research areas. You will also find academic contact details and research interests. You should identify a supervisor to work with and contact them before making a formal application.
Our Researcher Academy can help you develop your research skills through:
-
paid work placements
-
training courses
-
public engagement opportunities
You can also apply for travel funding to help you collaborate and present your research overseas.
Attending research seminars and special lectures will be an important part of your doctoral journey. You will also have the opportunity to deliver papers of your own. The culmination of your work will be a mathematical sciences thesis that makes a significant contribution to research in the area.
