Research & impact
Bayesian and Monte Carlo methods
The Bayesian approach to statistical modelling uses probability as a means to quantify the beliefs of the observer about the model parameters, given the data observed.
Dynamical Systems
The field of Dynamical Systems is concerned with processes that evolve in time, particularly those processes that have nonlinear components.
Geometry & Mathematical Physics
One of the oldest disciplines in mathematics, geometry goes back to the work of Pythagoras and Euclid. Geometry in modern mathematics takes on a multitude of forms, many of which are studied here at UNSW.
