Research

 

King’s is one of the leading centres for mathematics research in the UK. We aim to foster a vibrant and innovative, multidisciplinary environment.


Our research covers a broad range of sub-disciplines in applied and pure mathematics, including analysis, disordered systems, geometry, financial mathematics, statistics, probability and theoretical physics and more. We explore new ways of looking at familiar issues and develop new tools to solve complex problems.

We partner across disciplinary boundaries within the faculty, including with computer scientists and physicists, as well as with research institutes in the health faculties, including the Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics. Externally we work with the Francis Crick Institute and industrial partners such as EDF Research, the Pensions Policy Institute, Unilever and more.
