Academic and industry profiles
Professor Jiannis K Pachos
Being able to predict the motion of galaxies or the behaviour of subatomic particles based on few principles — and lots of hard work—is in the core of theoretical physics.I strongly believe that physics, even at challenging levels, should be accessible. This is reflected in the way the Theoretical Physics Program is composed and taught at the University of Leeds.More
Dr Isolde Adler
The integration of mathematics and computer science is essential to the design of reliable and optimal algorithms.More
Dr Paul Beales
"More than ever scientists are having to work in teams where they need to communicate effectively with scientists trained in different disciplines and applying concepts from these different traditional perspectives."More
Dr Brandon Bennett
I have an interdisciplinary background encompassing philosophy and physics as well as computer science. My primary interest is in the aspects of artificial intelligence that deal with knowledge representation and reasoning, especially in the domain of spatial information.More
Professor Leon Black
The more I studied the microstructure and materials chemistry of cement, the more I was amazed by the complexity of this material we take for granted every day. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked on the relationship between cement composition, microstructure and durability of low carbon cement and concrete.More
