Professor of Applied Mathematics and EPSRC fellow
My research falls into the broad area of "continuum mechanics" or more specifically in the areas of solid mechanics, acoustics, elasticity, elastodynamics, homogenization and micromechanics. Applications of this work lie in metamaterials, industrial composites and biological media such as soft tissue and bone. I am also interested more generally in the mathematical modelling of physical processes and industrial problems, and the application and development of novel mathematical methods. My EPSRC Fellowship "NEMESIS", involves materials modelling projects associated with soft tissue, metamaterials and industrial composites. At the heart of the project though is fundamental, novel applied mathematics. I lead the Waves In Complex Continua (WICC) group in the School of Mathematics at the University of Manchester. This group was launched in September 2010 with financial support via grants from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, The Leverhulme Trust, The Royal Society and industry. WICC has strong research ties with Dyson and Thales UK, principally in acoustics and materials technology research. I am an honoured to be taking on the role of Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Wave Motion on 1st July 2017. I am also an Associate Editor for the journals Journal of Engineering Mathematics and Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics. |

Welcome to Mike Smith who joined in the WICC group on 8th May working on theoretical modelling of syntactic foams. Zeshan Yousef will join us in June to carry out the associated imaging and mechanical testing. This project, in collaboration with Thales UK, forms an important part of my EPSRC Fellowship "NEMESIS".
