Interpreting natural phenomena and applying mathematics to solve industrial and social problems.
The CIAM - Industrial and Applied Mathematics develops mathematical and statistical research that underpins science, engineering and technology.
Leading the way in pure and applied mathematical research, CIAM aims to:
- discover, understand and interpret natural phenomena
- apply mathematics to important industrial and social problems
- advance mathematics and its applications
- develop new research strengths in mathematics and statistics
- train the next generation of mathematical scientists
Our focus
- modelling of chemical and physical phenomena and processes
- finance, risk and stochastic modelling
- scheduling and control, applied optimisation and operations research
- mathematical analysis
CIAM incorporates research across several themes including:
- mathematical analysis
- modelling of systems and processes
- optimisation and optimal control
- signal and image processing
- scheduling and control for transportation systems and water management
- financial mathematics and risk management
- environmental mathematics
- resource assessment and forecasting
- energy in buildings
Working in collaboration with industry partners CIAM develops innovative solutions for social and industrial problems across a broad range of disciplines. CIAM has worked across the RACE CRC, the FENEX CRC, and the ARENA Project to create impactful and solution driven research.
The ARENA project is a solar power ensemble forecaster and through collaboration with CIAM a publicly accessible web dashboard exists. The dashboard details a location sitemap, satellite imagery, skycam and a power, forecast and weather station, providing live data to make effective and timely decisions.
