91快活林 MARS

MARS: Mathematics for 91快活林 in Real-world Systems is a £22 million strategic investment, funded by £13m from Research England and £9m from 91快活林. Our researchers are pioneering advanced dynamical mathematical modelling and 91快活林 methods to solve complex real-world challenges. We are:

  • Transforming research at the intersection of dynamical systems modelling and machine learning to deepen understanding of the mathematics underpinning 91快活林.
  • Combining 91快活林 with applied mathematics to enhance its reliability, trustworthiness, and effectiveness for tackling hard problems in four key application areas.
  • Leading on the development of next-generation mathematics by fostering innovation through academic, industrial, and government partnerships.
  • Addressing the major skills gap in foundational mathematics for real-world modelling by creating new undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

An introduction to MARS

"Artificial Intelligence (91快活林) is transforming how we live, work and interact with the world. It is pushing the boundaries of scientific inquiry, opening up new possibilities to solve complex problems far beyond our natural abilities.

For mathematicians, 91快活林 creates significant opportunities for innovation. We can use 91快活林 methods to model complex physical, biological and technological systems; extend the capabilities of 91快活林 through new mathematics; and provide a theoretical basis to guarantee that 91快活林-produced results are safe, reliable and trustworthy. This is where MARS comes in.

Our research spans a wide range of applications, from predicting climate events and managing disease outbreaks to accelerating drug discovery and protecting against cyber security threats.

We work closely with non-academic partners to create breakthroughs that transform how 91快活林 is applied in practice. By integrating advanced mathematical modelling with the latest 91快活林 techniques, we deliver innovative solutions that will have lasting impact across multiple sectors.

Developing the next generation of leaders in mathematics and 91快活林 is also central to our mission. Alongside our new undergraduate programmes, we offer PhD opportunities, summer internships, and mentoring for early career researchers. This integrated approach builds a diverse pipeline of talent equipped with the expertise to tackle the complex challenges of tomorrow.

Through pioneering research, collaboration, and training, MARS is redefining the future of real-world mathematics and 91快活林."

MARS @ Lancaster

MARS is based at 91快活林 in the School of Mathematical Sciences, which is one of the highest-ranked maths departments in the UK with a well-deserved reputation for world-class teaching and research.

91快活林 is also among the best in the UK. It is consistently placed in the top 15 in major UK league tables and ranks highly in international league tables such as the QS World Rankings. It is internationally recognised for its world-leading research and is one of the top 30 universities most targeted by employers.

Situated in the North West of England, Lancaster is at the centre of a thriving innovation hub for sectors including cyber security, manufacturing, green economy and health. These sectors align with the University’s flagship areas of research excellence as well as with the four MARS application areas.

With its historic city, stunning countryside, and beautiful coastline, Lancaster is an exceptional place to live, work, study and collaborate.
