MaThRad Workshop

21^st & 22^nd May 2024

MaThRad is an EPSRC-funded interdisciplinary programme of research using modern mathematical methods from probability theory, advanced Monte Carlo methods and inverse problems to develop novel approaches to the theory and application of radiation transport.

The team from the Universities of Warwick, Cambridge and Bath, University College London Hospitals and the National Physical Laboratory are pursuing an interactive exploration of foundational, translational and application-driven research; developing predictive models with quantifiable accuracy and software prototypes which are ready for real-world implementation in the energy, health care and space exploration nuclear industries.

MaThRad unites complementary research groups from mathematics, engineering and medical physics, which will lead to a sustained critical mass in academic knowledge and expertise.

FAQs

How do I get to Oxford?

We recommend where-ever you are travelling from that you take public transport. The centre of Oxford has a Zero Emission Zone (ZEZ) and parking is limited. If you are travelling up from London following FEC then you can take a train from Paddington or Marylebone, although check timetables before departing, as Sunday timetables vary and the rail unions have been calling strikes. Please do ask one of the staff at FEC if you are unsure.
