Analysis - Example Research Projects

Our group has an active PhD student community, and every year we admit new PhD students. We welcome applications from across the world, and we encourage you to browse our available supervisors, and also to consult our general advice on how to navigate the application process.

There is also the possibility of applying to The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Algebra, Geometry, and Quantum Fields (AGQ CDT) is a collaborative effort by University of Glasgow, University of Edinburgh, and Heriot-Watt University. The programme is at the forefront of mathematical innovation, leveraging the power of symmetry, geometry, and quantum physics to shape the technologies of tomorrow.

Seminars

Regular seminars relevant to the group are held as part of the Analysis and Analysis Working seminar series. You can find a full list of the seminars within the school on the main seminars page, where you can subscribe to their respective calendars.

Our research interests include functional analysis, operator algebras and noncommutative geometry as well as interactions with areas such as quantum groups, quantum information, harmonic analysis, algebraic topology, dynamical systems and group theory. We are also interested in the structure and classification of C*-algebras, which are noncommutative analogues of topological spaces, as well as developing a better understanding for fundamental invariants in C*-algebra theory, noncommutative geometry, dynamical systems and group theory such as homology and K-theory.
