MSc by Research in Computational Science and Engineering

University of Leeds

Our research is centered on the analysis and implementation of fast, efficient, correct, and reliable numerical algorithms for physical problems, simulation, graphics, rendering, animation, and visualisation. Computational Science and Engineering research at Leeds takes place in two groups: Scientific computation, Visualisation and computer graphics. Our research - Research within the Computational Science and Engineering theme embeds fundamental developments in algorithms and cutting edge computational techniques within an end-user driven framework. Our areas of expertise includes fast and efficient numerical algorithms for partial differential equations (PDEs), computer graphics, as well as scientific and information visualization. Members of the theme also contribute to the School’s research into Applied Computing in Biology, Medicine and Health. In PDEs we have a long-standing international reputation for work on unstructured mesh adaption and mesh quality. Furthermore, in collaboration with both industrial and academic partners, this research has resulted in computational techniques, and software that has been widely applied in areas such as combustion, lubrication, atmospheric dispersion, river and harbour flows, and many more.
