Applied mathematics

Our research is concerned with solving challenging equations that describe interesting and important problems.

As well as conducting research in the foundations of applied mathematics, the department also undertakes research in a variety of multidisciplinary settings. It has excellent connections with many other disciplines, including pure mathematics and statistics, astronomy, biology, computer science, earth sciences, engineering, environment, food science and physics within the University, as well as links with industry.

Our current research areas include:

Research impact

Storm clouds in a dusky red sky, with lightning bolts hitting the ground Tracking storms through crowd-sourced data

Tracking storms through crowd-sourced data

A collaboration between the UK Met Office and Leeds used crowd-sourced weather data to better track extreme weather as it moves across the country, providing more accurate weather warnings.
