Research and Innovation

We carry out world-leading research in the mathematical sciences and are one of the largest mathematics Schools in the UK. Our success is built on a strong community of excellent researchers working across a diverse spectrum of research fields.

Our research combines a core mathematical focus with a strong interdisciplinary ethos spanning our three major themes: applied mathematics, pure mathematics and statistics.

We have strong links with Leeds Institute for Data Analytics, Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics, the Astbury Centre for Structural Biology and the Bragg Centre for Materials Research.

We’re a partner of the Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence.
