Backreaction of quantum fields on black hole space-times

University of Sheffield

School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences

Research Group: Applied Mathematics

In classical general relativity, Einstein’s equations involve the curvature of space-time on the left-hand-side, and the stress-energy tensor of matter on the right-hand-side. Read more

Bayesian Index Tracking: optimisation by sampling

University of Sheffield

School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences

Research Group: Mathematical and Statistical Modelling

Index trackers (ETFs, index funds, index mutual funds) aim to replicate the return of a reference equity index while keeping implementation frictions---notably turnover and trading costs---under control. Read more

Black hole perturbation theory for gravitational-wave astronomy

University of Sheffield

School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences

Research Group: Applied Mathematics

Pairs of black holes generate distinctive 'chirp' signals as they coalesce. These signals have been successfully detected at gravitational-wave observatories since 2015. Read more

Computational modelling of two-dimensional graphene-based materials

University of Sheffield

School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences

Research Group: Light Matter Interations

Graphene is a novel material with outstanding electronic and mechanical properties. Chemical modification of graphene gives rise to new materials, such as graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide, with properties very distinct from graphene and with possible applications in photocatalysis and batteries.

Design and synthesis of advanced heterogeneous catalysts for sustainable petrochemical transformations

University of Sheffield

School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences

Research Group: Materials Chemistry

Catalysis underpins almost every process in the chemical and petrochemical industries. However, many oxidation processes still rely on energy-intensive routes and inefficient catalysts. Read more

Developing state-of-the-art Space Weather forecast tools

University of Sheffield

School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences

Research Group: Applied Mathematics

The production of flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) from solar active regions (ARs) is still not well understood in spite of their huge importance to Sun-Earth connections, in particular, to protect mankind and our sophisticated technological systems that might be at considerable risk from high-speed charged particles blowing often abruptly off the Sun.
