Professor Peter Ashwin
Professor of Mathematics, University of Exeter
Homepage:
PhD: University of Warwick 1991.
Previous appointments: 1991-92 Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Marburg (Germany); 1992-95 Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Warwick; 1995-96 Postdoctoral Researcher, INLN Nice (France); 1996-2000 Lecturer in Mathematics, University of Surrey
Research interests: My research interests are in dynamical systems theory and applications, including low dimensional systems, theory of attractors, bifurcation theory, coupled and nonautonomous systems, computational modelling and applications, mostly in life and environmental sciences.
新澳开奖service: Member of London Mathematical Society since 1991, member of 新澳开奖Council 2020-2022.
Additional information: I have been active in the UK mathematical community as part of the MAGIC Taught Course Centre, and have been serving as Director since 2016. I was co-founder of the UK Mathematics for Climate research network 鈥淐liMathNet鈥, which has been promoting scientific interchange between climate science, mathematics and statistics since 2013. My research has been supported by a range of sources including EPSRC, BBSRC, Leverhulme and EU Horizon 2020. At the University of Exeter I have served in various academic management roles, including, at various times, Head of Department and Director of Education. I am currently the Director of Research and Impact.
Personal statement: I believe a lot of the strength of mathematics comes from the interaction of pure and applied branches. Although interactions may occur quite slowly with some areas, for others (such as dynamical systems) rapid communication between theory, experiment and simulation has been possible and this has resulted in some remarkable new mathematics. Through my experience at the Department of Mathematics at Exeter and through mentoring many PhDs and early career researchers, I have gained a good understanding of many of the challenges, opportunities and trade-offs that are facing departments and individual members of the LMS. Throughout its existence, the 新澳开奖has helped ensure that the mathematical community of the UK benefits from intellectual exchange at the highest international level (via exchange of people, ideas and funding). I am keen for the 新澳开奖to work to ensure that these benefits remain with us in the longer term. On the one hand, we need to benefit from traditional modes for sharing mathematics. On the other hand, we can benefit from many recent developments in the technology of how sharing mathematics can take place.
