Shirley, M
Teaching

Teaching assistant for:

  • MMSC Supplementary Applied Mathematics 
  • C5.5 Perturbation Methods 

Graduate teaching assistant at Jesus College for:

  • Prelims Dynamics 
Further details

I am a postdoctoral researcher in industrial mathematics in OCIAM,having recently completed my DPhil as part of the InFoMM CDT.

 

 

Research interests

I am interested in mathematical modelling for physical and industrially motivated problems, focussing on areas including

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Heat and mass transfer
  • Chemical reactions
  • Free boundary problems
  • Multiscale methods.

My work utilises a combination of asymptotic and numerical techniques.

In my current position part of my time is spent on short term projects on mathematical challenges posed by companies, and the remainder on my own independent research program.

Previously, I was a DPhil student at the University of Oxford and part of the InFoMM CDT. My research project was in collaboration with the metallurgy company Elkem ASA. My work focused on developing mathematical models for the gas flow through silicon furnaces and its coupling with the thermal, chemical, and solid behaviour.
