Applied Algebraic Topology in Geometry
Dr R Hepworth, Dr M Grant
Applications accepted all year round
In recent years the techniques of algebraic topology have been applied to data analysis with great success, and the resulting subject areas of Applied Algebraic Topology and Topological Data Analysis have seen rapid growth.
Topological methods for image recognition
Prof B Martin, Prof R Levi
Applications accepted all year round
The aim of this project is to develop mathematical algorithms for manipulating and classifying medical images.
Algebraic Methods in Musical Composition
Dr W Turner, Dr E Henke
Applications accepted all year round
Algebraic operations have been used as compositional tools for centuries. For example, the group theoretical operation of translation on the integers can be identified with the musical operation of transposition.
Algebraic groups, geometric invariant theory and boundedness
Prof B Martin, Dr E Meir
Applications accepted all year round
Group theory is the mathematical study of symmetry. Algebraic groups are certain groups of matrices with entries coming from a field such as the real numbers, the complex numbers or the integers modulo a prime.
Finite noncommutative Riemannian geometries
Research Group:
Geometry and Analysis
Prof S Majid
Applications accepted all year round
The School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London invite applications for a PhD project commencing either in September 2019 for students seeking funding, or at any point in the academic year for self-funded students.
Singularities of Mean Curvature Flow and Related Topics
Research Group:
Geometry and Analysis
Dr R Buzano, Dr H Nguyen
Applications accepted all year round
The School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London invite applications for a PhD project commencing in September 2019.
Geometry and topology for a continuous similarity between crystals
Dr V Kurlin
Application Deadline:
24 March 2019
The vision of the project is to transform materials discovery into a routine computational task. Materials discovery still needs a lot of human expertise, trial-and-error and even pure luck, because there is no rigorous theory to guide an efficient search in the huge space of all theoretically possible materials.
Combinatorial Representation Theory: Partitions and Basic Sets
Dr J.B. Gramain, Dr W Turner
Applications accepted all year round
The representation theory of many families of finite groups can be presented in terms of combinatorial objects. The most famous example is the symmetric groups, where the irreducible complex representations are parametrized by partitions.
