Parallel methods for PDE Eigenvalue Problems

Ivan Graham and I worked on a joint research project on "Parallel methods for PDE Eigenvalue problems". Inititially this work was funded by EPSRC. Dr Eero Vainikko (Tartu, Estonia) was also involved. If you want to know more about this project click here for our web page.

Algorithms for Network Simulation in Bioinformatics

Professor Des Higham (University of Strathclyde), Professor Peter Grindrod and I had an EPSRC supported project on "Network Simulations in Bioinformatics". Zivko Stoyanov started a PhD on this topic in the summer of 2004. He successfully submitted his thesis in 2008 and was a post-doc on the EPSRC project "Theory and tools for complex biological systems" from November 2007 till October 2010.
