Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical Modelling
The mission of the Centre is to develop mathematical models to generate fundamental understanding of matter on all scales ranging from the small microscopic to macroscopic. Applications will range from the quantum to new materials for technology. Such multiscale modelling requires multi and interdisciplinary research methods that will facilitate transfer of knowledge from fundamental science to application in industry.

Events coordinated by the Centre
During term time we have a weekly group meeting. Contact Andy Archer to be added to the mailing list for this.
In addition, the Centre also organised:
- International ICMM Workshop on Mathematical Modelling: From Bio to Quantum, 21-22 May 2018
- Minisymposium at Dynamics Days 2018, 3-7 September
