Differential equation modelling to address male infertility

University of Birmingham School of Mathematics

Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples, is emotionally devastating, and requires expensive and invasive treatments. Importantly, we place a significant and unequal burden on women, who often require risk-bearing procedures to address what is caused by, in 50% of cases, a male factor. Read more

Optimal prediction of dynamical systems with incomplete data

The University of Manchester Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering

Dynamical systems describe a variety of real-life problems related to evolution over time. It is often the case that the problems are so complicated that mathematical models for them either do not exist or are not accurate enough. Read more
