Impact of our Maths, Stats and Physics Research

Delivering outstanding research impact is one of our School's core objectives. We carry out a range of impact-focused projects.

Our research

Tackling today's challenges

The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics' work enabled Â鶹´«Ã½ to rank in the top 10 for Research Impact in Mathematical Sciences (Unit of Assessment 10) in the REF2014.

The demonstrable effects, changes, or benefits to the economy and society; beyond academia.

Definition of Research Impact

Examples of our research impact include effects on:

  • society
  • ageing, health & welfare
  • commerce
  • economy
  • culture
  • climate change
  • biotechnology
  • transport & mobility
Advanced clinical diagnostics and monitoring of cornea damage.

World-leading and internationally excellent research

Almost all the impact-focused research we submitted to the REF2014 was classified as world-leading or internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour.

Wide-ranging projects

Impact-focused maths, stats and physics projects include, the:

  • creation of software for predicting traffic collision hotspots and evaluating site-based road safety interventions
  • development and implementation of an original Bayesian statistics forecasting solution for gas demand
  • implementation of novel image analysis methods within the healthcare and high-value manufacturing sectors
  • transfer of optimal experimental design approaches into the biology and biotechnology sectors
  • creation of a data analytics company
  • integration of statistical and data analytics into diverse SMEs
  • development of multivariate analysis methods for pipeline defect identification, detection & sizing
