Presentation Day Gallery March 2024
Below is a selection of images from our Research Project Presentation Day at Imperial's South Kensington Campus on 27 March 2024. Credits to
Brendan Foster Photography.
Students worked in small groups with a mentor from either Imperial, our partner university and globally top-10 ranked institution, a mentor from another prominent university, or a mentor from a relevant industry, to complete an academic research project on a topic within the mentor’s area of expertise. Students produced an academic report that was published in the Imperial Maths School journal, a summary poster and presented their research at Imperial at the end of the project.

Pursuit Problems
Investigating dilemmas which involve two or more objects that obey simple rules within an environment using simulations
Dyson Extractor Fan
Students redesigned a product that is commonly used but has many flaws: the extractor fan
Investigating the Genus of Topological Manifolds
Students explored ways of determining the number of holes in a surface using functions in morse theory and vector fields in the Poincaré-Hopf Theorem

Social Networks, Compartmental Models & COVID-19
Students explored how mathematics can be used to predict the spread of disease, with particular focus on the recent COVID-19 pandemic
Dyson-Powered Motor Shoes
Students employed design engineering strategies as used at Dyson to develop a novel idea: Motor-Powered Shoes

Period Doubling and Chaos in Nonlinear Maps
Students investigated how to model and 'quantify' chaos - and looked into how it emerges in the first place
Students were asked questions by the audience
On the Associativity of Floating-Point Arithmetic
Students investigated floating-point arithmetic, which is used to represent real numbers with fractional parts within a computer
Congratulations to all our students
