Applied Mathematics

Its interdisciplinary aspect characterises our research in the Applied Mathematics research group. We have close links to the groups in Applied Stochastics and Mathematical Physics in the mathematics department as well as to other research institutes at Radboud University. We focus both on the theoretical and numerical aspects of the problems.

Research focus

We currently specialise in the following themes:

Applied Analysis

  • Deterministic and stochastic infinite dimensional dynamical systems
  • Well-posedness of nonlinear evolution equations
  • Qualitative behaviour of solutions
  • Formation of singularities
  • Calculus of Variations (e.g. existence theory, regularity)

Modelling and Applications

  • Mathematical biology (e.g. cell-biology, thin-films, neuroscience, tumour growth)
  • Nonlinear wave propagation (e.g. for high-intensity ultrasound, marine reserves)
  • Geosciences (e.g. porous-media flow, volcanology)
  • Materials science (e.g. pattern formation, phase transitions)
  • Imaging science (e.g. reconstruction of damaged images, noise reduction)

Numerics and Computation

  • Stochastic and deterministic (partial) differential equations
  • Numerical wave propagation and optimisation
  • Computational biology and neuroscience
  • Computational finance and economics
  • Uncertainty quantification

Seminars

We have a regular seminar with talks by external and internal speakers about current research topics.
