The Applied and Computational Complex Analysis group of the Department of Mathematics at University College London is part of a wider network of UK-based universities, the ACCA-UK network, bringing together expertise in applied and computational complex analysis challenges with a view to fostering synergetic interaction and collaboration. |
The ACCA-UK Network
The ACCA-UK network was instituted in December 2013 and currently comprises a consortium of five UK universities with local group leaders:
Prof. Peter Clarkson, University of Kent
Prof. Darren Crowdy, Imperial College London
Prof. Athanassios S. Fokas, University of Cambridge
Prof. Robb McDonald, University College London
Prof. Beatrice Pelloni, University of Reading
The mission of the network is to foster a collaborative environment for intradisciplinary research challenges involving any and all aspects of applied complex analysis, including numerical methods and computational schemes based on complex analysis and conformal geometry. The range of interests of the members spans the physical sciences (fluid mechanics, solid mechanics) and mathematical physics, through to more mathematical topics such as function and operator theory, random matrix theory, spectral analysis and integrable systems. The network holds regular dedicated workshops on special topics, organizes minisymposia at larger general meetings/conferences, as well as "Student Chapter Meetings" where PhD students and Post-Docs convene to discuss current projects and share ideas.

The ACCA-UK Group at UCL
The UCL ACCA group does research in integrable systems, nevanlinna theory, singularity structure of differential and difference equations, free boundary problems, water wave hydrodynamics, vortex dynamics and inverse problems. Applications include analysis and computation of Hele-Shaw free boundary flows, capillary waves, imaging in neurology, growth of river valley networks, geophysical wave and vortex systems and the statistical mechanics of many vortex systems.
