Professor of Applied Mathematics, University of Leicester
I am Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Leicester. Currently I am interested in approximation in Euclidean space and on spheres using radial basis functions, and generalisations of these procedures to locally compact manifolds.
I am interested in the applications of RBFs in finance, especially practical high dimensional approximation using sparse grid methods. I am also involved in forensic applications with fingerprints. I am also interested in Smart City and Digital Medicine.
