About the centre
Research and Consulting
The Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics has active research programs in a wide cross-section of topics, from the general areas of Applied Statistics, Mathematical Analysis, Control Theory, Numerical Analysis, Operations Research, Optimisation, and Perturbation Theory.
The Centre has seven research groups, each group providing a focus for specialist mathematical research and consulting in particular fields of industrial and applied mathematics. A common theme across all groups is an emphasis on mathematical and computer modelling techniques, with a focus on applications to environmental problems, rail transport, and other areas. For a complete list of current research interests, please refer to the pages of our research groups and individual staff members.
The services offered by the Centre include research, consultancy, and education in many areas of business and industry where efficiency of operation is essential for maintaining a competitive edge.
Our scientists have attracted numerous research grants. Groups and individuals have well-established collaborations with industrial partners and universities both in Australia and overseas.
