Course Summary

Complex systems in nature and technology often consist of many simple components, which combine to show complex collective behaviour. These systems require a combination of statistical, mathematical and computational modelling techniques to understand their behaviour. We use a combination of process-driven and data-driven modelling to develop powerful strategies to understand and predict these complex behaviours.In addition to data-driven techniques, as embodied by machine learning, we use reverse engineering, as well as mathematical and statistical modelling techniques to analyse real-world problems in the bio-sciences and engineering. Whilst data-driven techniques are described as ‘model-free’, they are in fact ways of optimising model parameters, and the quality of the output is only as good as the underlying model.Current projects for this theme:Understanding and predicting the onset of neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseaseInvestigation of the psychological impact of flooding in the UKSpatio-temporal modelling of HIV, Cholera and COVID-19 for propagation, prediction and policy decisionsPrediction of pedestrian behaviour to inform connected-vehicle controlModelling of protein dynamics during translocation across cell membranes

Entry requirements

A minimum of a 2:1 first degree in a relevant discipline/subject area with a minimum 60% mark in the project element or equivalent with a minimum 60% overall module average. In the event of a first degree classification of less than 2:1, a Masters Degree in a relevant subject area will be considered as an equivalent. The Masters must have been attained with minimum overall marks at merit level (60%)*. In addition, the dissertation or equivalent element in the Masters must also have been attained with a minimum mark of merit level (60%). Or higher where stipulated against a specific opportunity.
