Arkady Wey

Dr. Arkady Wey is a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in the Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in
the Mathematics Institute at University of Oxford. His current research involves the design and development of research software, and its deployment in industry, for which he holds an EPSRC Impact Acceleration Award. He is a graduate of the Industrially Focused Mathematical Modelling (InFoMM) Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT). His postgraduate research was a collaboration with W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc., and focused on the development of new mathematical frameworks for particle filtration. His work includes the derivation and solution of partial integro-differential equations on continua, algebro-differential dynamical systems on networks, and the development of network homogenisation, a novel computationally-tractable method for extracting global information from networks. His other research interests include stochastic agent-based models in the context of finance and epidemics, and a model for a glass-drawing process. His research has been recognised by several awards, most recently STEM for Britain, an EPSRC Doctoral Prize, and SIAM 3-Minute Thesis prizes. Arkady is a fellow of the Enterprise Process Labs - High Intensity Training entrepreneurship program, and is a previous participant in the ImagineIF! pre-accelerator for scientific start-ups. Along with fellow co-founders, he was a regional finalist of the Innovation Forum, and national finalist of Founders of the Future. Arkady completed his undergraduate degree in Mathematics at University College London, under scholarships from Lloyds Banking Group and the Rose Trust. He is a graduate of Sir Thomas Picton School, where he benefitted from social mobility schemes such as Oxford's UNIQ program. He is a passionate advocate of projects that aim to increase the uptake of students from low-income households into higher education.
