Dr Jonathan Evans

Research interests:

  • Asymptotic analysis and perturbation methods
  • Industrial and applied mathematical modelling
  • Complex fluids with memory, high order nonlinear evolutionary PDEs and free boundary problems

Jonathan works in the areas of asymptotic analysis, and industrial and applied mathematical modelling. This includes studying complex fluids with memory (which are used in the polymer, food, petroleum and minerals industries), high order nonlinear evolutionary PDEs, free boundary problems for semiconductor fabrication, concrete carbonation and pricing American Options.
