Biological Modelling Research Group
The Biological Modelling Research Group develops innovative inter-disciplinary computational and mathematical modelling approaches to high impact real-world problems and to deepen our understanding of the environment in which we live.
We use mathematical and computational techniques to describe biological and socio-economic processes, to predict their course, and to design ways to control them. We develop novel techniques that assist us in these tasks.
Techniques we develop
- Structured populations models
- Deterministic / ODE models
- Stochastic and simulation models
- Network theory
- Agent-based models and games
- Process algebra models of networks
- Parameter estimation
- Big data analysis and computation
- Model formulation, identification checking
- Bio-economic models (optimal control)
- Optimisation techniques
- Game theory
