Our research includes
Storm force
Storm surge early warning system. Researchers are learning more about storm surges.
Mirror partners
Dr Alan Thompson works on mirror symmetry, which is a branch of algebraic geometry. At the heart of mirror symmetry lies the observation that many geometric objects seem to come in pairs, called "mirror partners".
