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.
Statistical Data Analysis of medical health records
Prof B Schelter, Prof M Thiel
Applications accepted all year round
In this project we will use advanced statistical and mathematical modelling techniques to analyse patient health records in order to support medical decision making.
Statistical physics of DNA replication
Dr A Moura, Prof C Romano
Applications accepted all year round
The goal of this project is to apply statistical physics and probability theory to the problem of DNA replication in living cells.
The mathematics behind the smartness of neural networks
Dr M S Baptista
Applications accepted all year round
Intelligence is one of the pillars that allows animals to master their environment. Scientific approaches recently proposed have been capable of simulating networked systems that reproduce similar emergent manifestations of behavior as those observed in the brain.
