Rosemary Dyson is a Professor in Applied Mathematics. She applies the principles of mathematical modelling to mechanical problems in biological and industrial contexts, generating novel insights into the systems involved, as well as new mathematical techniques. As such her work is inherently highly collaborative, involving frequent interactions with experimentalists.

She coordinates the Mathematics in the Plant Sciences Study Group series, week-long events where assembled mathematicians work on problems brought by plant scientist. Rosemary is always interested to discuss the potential for cross-disciplinary collaboration whether in the context of the study group or her own research.

Qualifications

  • DPhil in Mathematics, Oxford, 2007
  • MMath in Mathematics, Oxford, 2003
