Research
Welcome
Staff in the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences conduct cutting-edge research in fundamental and applied mathematics and physics, ranging from pure mathematics to applied nano-science at the interface between biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The School collaborates with top research institutions in Germany, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, and the USA.
Our research focuses on four key areas: Algebra, Astrophysics, Computational Physics, and Experimental Nanophysics.
Algebra
Pure Mathematics in the School is organised in the Charlotte Scott Research Centre for Algebra. Algebraists at Lincoln conduct research on finite and infinite groups and their automorphisms, Lie algebras, profinite and locally finite groups, topological groups, permutation groups, polynomial algebra, and algebraic number theory.
Astrophysics
Our astrophysics research is dealing with some of most complex structures in our Solar system, such as planetary rings around Saturn. An emerging direction is also investigation of disks around exoplanets and potential moon formation which could support life.
Computational Physics
The School is home to the Centre for Computational Physics, with research encompassing computational and theoretical physics as well as applied mathematics of nano-structured soft matter, solid/soft matter interface, molecular biophysics, and biologically inspired systems.
Experimental Nanophysics
Experimental Nanophysics and Nanotechnology research in the School brings together expertise from a range of disciplines to focus on various applications of nanotechnology; from renewable energy to nano-medicine.
