James is the Industry Engagement Officer responsible for securing industrial projects for students on the MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing (MMSC MSc) course, and for supporting students on the MSc in Mathematical and Computational Finace (MCF MSc) course to secure internships. He is available to advise both academics and partners in business, industry and government on knowledge exchange.
James has recently completed a DPhil in the Centre for Doctoral Training in Industrially Focused Mathematical Modelling (InFoMM CDT). Through his postgraduate research, James has shed light on abnormal combustion phenomena within internal combustion engines. His work involved modelling the interactions between exothermic chemical reactions and fluid dynamics using partial differential equations.
James' thesis is available from the Oxford University Research Archive.
