Organisation profile

SAMBa is the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Statistical Applied Mathematics at Bath. In a world of fast moving decision making, based on myriad sources of large and complex data, the need to robust collection, analysis and interpretation of that data is essential. Statistical Applied Mathematics brings together the research areas of applied maths, stochastic modelling, numerical analysis and statistics, in a multidisciplinary and industrially motivated environment. It provides researchers with tools to not only undertake novel and creative research, but also to communicate their results and build successful collaborations across traditional boundaries. SAMBa is funded by EPSRC and the University of Bath, based in the Mathematical Sciences department but with collaborators from across campus, the UK, internationally and outside of academia. Students undertake a four year programme, which consists mainly of taught courses in year one and research in years two to four. We also run biannual Integrative Think Tanks (ITTs) which bring together students, academics, and partners to formulate mathematical approaches to high level industrial and societal challenges.
