Mentored Research Projects

What are Imperial College London Mathematics School Research Projects?

Imperial Maths School is a state-funded sixth form in collaboration with Imperial. The aims of the school are to increase the pipeline of skilled mathematicians into degrees at high-tariff universities, widen participation in the mathematical sciences, and ensure that its graduates are well prepared for university study and beyond. This project is part of a programme, supported by experts in their fields, to enrich the studies of Imperial Maths School students beyond the A level curriculum.

Dr Marina Evangelou and Ella Orme's Research Project

Dr Marina Evangelou is a Senior Lecturer in Statistics at the Department of Mathematics at Imperial, and Ella Orme is one of the PhD students she is currently supervising. They develop statistical methods to analyse complex biomedical datasets and are both advocates for celebrating and promoting the representation of women in mathematics at Imperial.

Calvin Chen's Research Project

Calvin Chen is a PhD student in Theoretical Physics at the Department of Physics at Imperial. His work looks at the nature of causality in gravitational theories. He completed his undergraduate studies at Imperial and his Master’s degree at the University of Cambridge, before returning to Imperial.

Dr Phil Ramsden's Research Project

Dr Phil Ramsden has been working at Imperial for 30 years as a Teaching Fellow and e-learning developer. He made his start teaching A-level Maths and Further Maths, and is now the Director of Cross-Curricular Mathematics Education at the Department of Mathematics.

Professor Richard Craster's Research Project

Professor Richard Craster is the Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Imperial. He was formerly the Head of the Department of Mathematics from 2011 to 2017. Though he’s very busy in his role as Dean, he still has time for his research in applied mathematics, notably in the fields of metamaterials and fluid mechanics.
