The UCL Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences is one of the 11 constituent faculties of University College London (UCL).[2] The Faculty, the UCL Faculty of Engineering Sciences and the UCL Faculty of the Built Envirornment (The Bartlett) together form the UCL School of the Built Environment, Engineering and Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

Departments

The Faculty currently comprises the following departments:[3][4]

Research centres and institutes

University College London

The Faculty is closely involved with the following research centres and institutes:[4]

  • UCL Centre for Materials Research
  • UCL Centre for Mathematics and Physics in the Life Sciences and Experimental Biology (CoMPLEX) - an inter-disciplinary virtual centre that seeks to bring together mathematicians, physical scientists, computer scientists and engineers upon the problems posed by complexity in biology and biomedicine. The centre works with 29 departments and Institutes across UCL. It has a MRes/PhD program that requires that its students also belong to at least one of these Departments/Institutes. The centre is based in the Physics Building on the UCL main campus.
  • Centre for Planetary Science at UCL/Birkbeck
  • UCL Clinical Operational Research Unit (CORU) - CORU[8] sits within the Department of Mathematics and is a team of researchers dedicated to applying operational research, data analysis and mathematical modelling to problems in health care.
  • UCL Institute of Origins
  • UCL Institute for Healthcare Engineering (IHE) - IHE[9] is dedicated to transforming lives through digital and medical technologies and fosters collaboration across UCL areas of expertise.
  • UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction
  • The Thomas Young Centre
