My research interests include number theory, optimization, computational, discrete and industrial mathematics, but also mathematical education, with a focus on maths anxiety.

Much of my work is published in leading journals like Neural Networks, Journal of Global Optimization, Carpathian J Math, Mathematics and Computers in Simulation and Asian Journal of Control. I have authored work with more than 50 collaborators from UK, India, Romania, Thailand, Spain, China, Australia, or Kuwait.

Some of my UG students have produced original research, disseminated through International Symposiums, Mathematical Magazines, or journal papers.

  • Four of my students have been awarded URSS bursaries to undertake research stages in Romania (Eve H. – Recurrent sequences 2016, Manzal and Chandni M. – Ceramics modelling2018) and Kenya (Navraj G – Sustainable agriculture 2018)
  • Eve Hedderwick co-authored a journal paper in ENDM (Elsevier, 2018)
