MaThRad: Mathematical Theory of Radiation Transport

MaThRad is an EPSRC-funded interdisciplinary programme of research using modern mathematical methods from probability theory, advanced Monte Carlo methods and inverse problems to develop novel approaches to the theory and application of radiation transport. MaThRad is pursuing an interactive exploration of foundational, translational and application-driven research; developing predictive models with quantifiable accuracy and software prototypes which are ready for real-world implementation in the energy, health care and space exploration nuclear industries. MaThRad unites complementary research groups from mathematics, engineering and medical physics, which will lead to a sustained critical mass in academic knowledge and expertise.
