Bath research helps predict extreme weather conditions
Researchers from our Department of Mathematical Sciences have been collaborating with the Met Office, suppliers of the UK’s weather forecast, to improve their forecasting operations for extreme weather conditions. The research has resulted in new software called ‘Open Road’ which councils can use to make much more accurate predictions of ground temperatures so they can determine which roads to grit.
Bath mathematicians join the fight against diabetes
Statisticians from our Department of Mathematical Sciences are working as part of a major 45 million Euro project to help improve the treatment of type 2 diabetes.The DIRECT (“DIabetes REsearCh for patient straTification”) consortium joins scientists and clinicians working in academia with the pharmaceutical industry to tackle the current bottlenecks in diabetes drug development and to tailor treatment to individual patients, an approach called personalised medicine. Professor Christopher Jennison, a statistician in the University’s Department of Mathematical Sciences, will be involved in designing the clinical trials for the project.
