Research

 

King’s is one of the leading centres for mathematics research in the UK. We aim to foster a vibrant and innovative environment, with many researchers working across interdisciplinary collaborations both internally within King’s and externally. 

Our research covers a broad range of sub-disciplines in applied and pure mathematics, including analytics, 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. 

Our research groups

Our research groups cover a wide range of fields within the discipline. This includes applied mathematics such as disordered systems, statistics and financial mathematics; and pure mathematics through research groups on analysis, geometry, number theory and probability. We also have a highly renowned theoretical physics group.
