Wave Trapping Around Islands
Islands are subject to tides, seismic waves as well as wind generated waves. If any of these are trapped, that is the energy of the wave goes continuously around the

Natural Ventilation
The study of how to ventilate a room without recourse to air conditioning has practical application to theatres and libraries where all but the quietest noise has to be avoided.
Bayesian Methods for Analysing Historic Data
This project will concern (Bayesian) models for the survival time of historic populations. Such models can provide interesting historical insights. For example, we can understand how survival times have increased
Dynamic Social Media Information Extraction
This project concerns the extraction of information from Social Media such as Facebook and Twitter. It will develop methodology to provide an understanding of how sentiments expressed on social media
Wind Driven Circulation
In the ocean the main gyres responsible for how the sea circulates are generated by the climatic winds. In this project you will derive the equations that govern this process
Divergent Series
This project is for a student who finds the following result shocking but intriguing: 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . = -1/12 This looks wrong in so
The Numerical Solution of the p-Laplace Equation in a Geometry with Sharp Corners
Certain types of fluids do not respond in a linear way to external forces – they are called non-Newtonian fluids. A simple model of a non-Newtonian fluid which is widely
Perturbation Methods
Perturbation methods are used to investigate solutions to mathematical problems in which exact solutions can’t be found but in which there is a parameter whose size (usually very small) allows
The Inverted Pendulum
Why is it that a solid pendulum can be made to stand on its end when it’s other end is made to oscillate? This project will investigate the underlying mathematics
Mondromy of Abelian Integrals
This project is related to the change in an complex integral as its defining parameters change. You will need to learn some theory about Riemann surfaces and integrals on them,
