Centre for Operational Research, Management Science and Information Systems (CORMSIS)
Our operational research and management science research helps organisations make informed business decisions. -
Gravity
Research conducted by the Southampton Gravity group focuses on gravitational waves, general relativistic spacetimes around black holes, and the properties of ultra-dense matter in neutron stars, such as superfluidity and superconductivity of nuclear and quark matter. -
Institute for Life Sciences
We bring together interdisciplinary researchers with expertise across the themes of health and medicine, living systems, disruptive life technologies, and insights through data -
Mathematical Modelling
The modelling group focuses on mathematical modelling across science and engineering, including physics (from the physics of quanta and strings to that of liquid crystals), chemistry (modelling lithium-ion batteries and solar cells), engineering (controlling sound direction), biology, medicine and healthcare (from stem cell population dynamics to medical imaging and healthcare models). -
Operational Research
Operational Research (OR) is the discipline of applying advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions. -
Precision Biosciences Innovation Hub
We use big data, computational approaches and 'in silico' digital twins of biological systems. Through our research, we gain a detailed understanding of the biological processes needed for sustainable health, environment and food. -
Southampton Imaging and Radiology Research Group (SIRRG)
Our mission is to elevate the academic development, visibility, and robustness of imaging research within Southampton. -
Southampton Theory Astrophysics and Gravity (STAG) Research Centre
The Southampton Theory, Astrophysics and Gravity (STAG) Research Centre brings together three research groups with world-leading expertise on issues relating to fundamental physics and astronomy. -
Statistical Sciences Research Institute (S3RI)
We use statistics and demography methodologies to improve the way data is used. -
Statistics
Our research is focussed on three themes: design and analysis of experiments, statistical modelling, and biostatistics. As part of the Southampton Statistical Sciences Research Institute (S3RI), we have close links with statisticians and stochastic modellers across the University, especially those in the Division of Social Statistics and Demography. -
String Theory and Holography
The group works on all aspects of fundamental physics - string theory; quantum field theory; applications to gravity, black holes, cosmology, particle physics, condensed matter and quantum information. -
Web Science Institute
We study the relationship between society and the largest information system in history: the World Wide Web.
