PhD in Mathematics - Probability and Statistics

Mathematics at Hull offers opportunities to study towards a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in a thriving research environment. We welcome research proposals in any of our specialisms. Our staff have a wide range of expertise in many different areas, from pure maths theories around low-dimensional topology and asymptotic geometric analysis, to fluid dynamics, superstring theory and astrophysics across other disciplines.

While studying towards a PhD at Hull, you’ll be fully supported by two supervisors who are able to offer expert supervision in your area. You'll also benefit from being part of a genuine community of mathematicians.

Large complex networks can be found everywhere, for example as social, information, technological and biological networks. Many of these networks share the property that they are scale free, i.e., the number of links of nodes have a power law distribution. Hubs with a very high number of links play an important role in the behaviour of the network.

Processes on these networks one can think of are opinion formation in social networks, the spread of information via telecommunication and computer networks, and epidemics in society. In Hull, we use probability theory to investigate what the effect is of the scale-free nature of complex networks on processes on these networks, both in and out of equilibrium.
