Internships Expressions of Interest: seeking a partner for an Industrial Mathematics Internship
Internship projects currently seeking a partner are in the areas of:
  • discrete optimisation - from University of Birmingham
  • influence of surface diffusion on fracture phenomena at bi-material interfaces - from Pilkington Group
  • developing numerical and statistical algorithms - from NAG Ltd
If you are interested in partnering one of these projects, please contact Dr Claudia Centazzo.
