Biography
I have moved to York University in Canada. Please visit my website https://www.yorku.ca/imoyles/.Legacy Bio:
I was a post-doctoral researcher in the Mathematics Applications Consortium for Science and Industry (MACSI) at the University of Limerick. My main project was on modelling soil biomass in nutrient cycling and ground water treatment. Prior to starting at UL, I obtained my PhD in applied mathematics from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver Canada. My thesis was on pattern formation in biological systems. Prior to this I did a masters of science at UBC as well with a specialization in porous media applications. I obtained my bachelor of science in physics from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa, Ontario.
Research Interests
Broadly my research interests are in modelling natural phenomenon and industrial mathematics as well as the asymptotic and numerical analysis of such models. The goals of this analysis are to provide key insights to important parameters or implications from the model. I'm interested in multi-disciplinary science projects, particularly the implementation of mathematical tools and ideas into projects with very little mathematics otherwise.I have a keen interest in science communication and am interested in improving knowledge transfer gaps between the work that scientists produce at the audience for that work (including works intended for peers and other scientists).
