Scientific Computation Research Group

 

Projects

In the Scientific Computation group we are working on a wide variety of projects concerning the computational solution of Partial Differential Equations. These are a mixture of research council funded PhD and post-doctoral research projects and industrially funded consultancy work. Often this work involves collaboration with other departments within the University of Leeds, with research groups from other universities, both UK and abroad, and with industrial partners through consultancy contracts or student research funding through EPSRC CASE Awards.

Future projects

A list of potential projects for PhD students is available. If you are interested in these, or related, research areas please contact one of us for more information.
